Civics and Citizenship Education (CCE) promotes the knowledge, skills and values that prepare students to be informed and active citizens of Australia's democracy. It includes knowledge and understanding of our democratic heritage, political and legal structures and the shared values underpinning our pluralistic and multicultural society, such as freedom, tolerance, respect, responsibility and inclusion. CCE also includes participation and development of the skills and dispositions needed to practise citizenship.
