Whats citizenship?
Slide 5
Civics and citizenship - Rationale The Civics and Citizenship
curriculum aims to reinforce students appreciation and
understanding of what it means to be a citizen. It explores ways in
which students can actively shape their lives, value their
belonging in a diverse and dynamic society, and positively
contribute locally, nationally, regionally and globally. As
reflective, active and informed decision-makers, students will be
well placed to contribute to an evolving and healthy democracy that
fosters the wellbeing of Australia as a democratic nation.

In our world today, our businesses, our governments, our
churches, our schoolsour communities need active global citizens
people who have developed these critical competencies and
leadership skills. It doesnt just happen by accident. Too often
global travel is conflated with global citizenship. That is such a
poor shallow substitute. And it should never be assumed that an
extended service experience will automatically equip someone with
the attitudes and skills of a global citizen. Aaron Ausland

a better shared future for all is at the heart of global education.
Global education promotes open-mindedness leading to new thinking
about the world and a predisposition to take action for change.
Students learn to take responsibility for their actions, respect
and value diversity, and see themselves as global citizens who can
contribute to a more peaceful, just and sustainable world Global
