Policy Statement

The NSW Department of Education and Training rejects all forms of racism. It is committed to the elimination of racial discrimination – including direct and indirect racism, racial vilification and harassment – in its organisation, structures and culture, in its curriculum, and in the learning and working environments for which it is responsible.

No student, employee, parent, caregiver or community member should experience racism within the learning or working environments of the Department.

All teaching and non-teaching staff contribute to the eradication of racism by promoting acceptance of Australia’s cultural, linguistic and religious diversity, challenging prejudiced attitudes and ensuring that sanctions are applied against racist and discriminatory behaviours.

Schools and workplaces have trained Anti-Racism Contact Officers and provide timely and professional responses to suggestions, complaints and allegations regarding racism.

Students and parents are encouraged to report any concerns about racism to the Principal.
