Our Vision and Values

Our vision is that every student develops the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to positively contribute to our community as a responsible and caring citizen.

We encourage students to ‘strive for excellence’ – to achieve more than is required or expected academically, vocationally, socially and personally.

Our values are shown through year level themes:

• Respect
• Teamwork
• Integrity
• Resilience

We are committed to embedding our values as habits so that they become observable attributes:

• Readiness
• Resourcefulness
• Resilience
• Reflectiveness
• Reciprocity

Bendigo South East College is committed to the principles of a liberal democracy.

• We believe in an accountable, democratically elected government.
• We respect and observe the rule of law, and believe that no person is above the law.
• We believe in equal rights for all before the law, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender or other attributes.
• We believe not only in freedom of religion, but also the need to practice tolerance and understanding of others’ beliefs.
• We believe in the value of freedom of speech and freedom of association, but also acknowledge that we have the responsibility not to abuse this freedom.
• We believe in the values of openness and tolerance, and value and respect all members of the school community regardless of background.
