International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) - May 17th
As a school that values RESPECT and diversity, we stand against the mistreatment and discrimination of people in the LGBTQIA+ community. We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and included just as they are. We share a commitment to preserving a welcoming environment for all students, families, and staff.
Newtown Primary School would like to encourage all families to have conversations and celebrate the rights of every individual to be themselves. Strong links can be made to our school values of RESPECT for Self and Others.
For those families who are interested or in need of futher support and education in this space, we invite you to find this through the following channels:
