St Michael’s Grammar School supports and promotes the principles and practice of Australian Democracy in its educational programs and policies. Specifically, we are committed to:

  1. Elected Government
  2. The rule of law
  3. Equal rights for all before the law
  4. Freedom of religion
  5. Freedom of speech and association
  6. The values of openness and tolerance

We also adhere to the broader principles as outlined in the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians.

Wherever possible we mirror these principles in our actions with students and teach the principles of democracy through aspects of the teaching, learning and caring programs at the School.
