Anti-Racism Policy 

The Department of Education rejects all forms of racism and is committed to eliminating it in NSW public schools. The Anti-Racism Policy aims to ensure that no student, employee, parent, carer or community member experiences racism within the school environment.

We value the cultural diversity of our school community and promote respect and understanding of diverse perspectives and world views. As a school, we are committed to ensuring everyone feels safe, respected and included. This means actively addressing racism and promoting a culture of respect and equity.

We will continue to work with our school community to advance equity for everyone and help to achieve the goals of the department’s Anti-Racism Strategy:

• Students and learners, staff, families and communities from all cultural, linguistic and religious backgrounds participate equitably in a racism-free NSW public education system

• NSW public education contributes to the creation of a safer, stronger, more inclusive and more cohesive NSW community.

   

We encourage you to engage in meaningful conversations with your child about who they can talk to if they witness or experience racism and the importance of standing up to racism and embracing inclusive attitudes. By working together, we can empower our students to be positive role models who contribute to a stronger school community.

Thank you for assisting us to maintain a positive school environment in which all forms of racism are rejected.

Now available on SchoolTV - Drinking & Alcohol

Alcohol is one of the most commonly used substances among young people, making it an important topic for families to address early and often. From the primary years onwards, children are exposed to messages about alcohol through social situations, media and online content. Starting age-appropriate conversations early can help build healthy attitudes, strengthen trust and make later discussions during adolescence easier and more effective.

As children grow older, curiosity, peer influence and increasing independence can increase the likelihood of experimentation. Research shows that strong family communication, clear expectations and positive role modelling are key protective factors in helping young people make safer and healthier choices.

This edition of SchoolTV explores the impact of alcohol on children and adolescents and offers practical strategies to help families navigate this important topic with confidence and care.
