For the first time last year students across Victoria were asked a simple but complicated question, have you experienced racism?
Lyndale Secondary College principal Pam Robinson said students have a right to quality teaching and learning but that can only take place in a safe environment.
Lyndale Secondary College's leadership in Melbourne's south-east say the questions posed by the survey have always been at the forefront of their minds. "The survey results are a testament to the commitment of school staff to implementing initiatives across mental health and wellbeing, positive and inclusive classroom management practices, and respectful relationships," he said.
"It's more a reflection of people's willingness to speak about it, their knowledge of what racism even is, their awareness of it," he said. " obligation to understand what racism is, what kind of role racism plays within the school community. It's not some optional thing," Dr Peucker said. "This requires strong and supportive relationships with Indigenous families and communities, the building of trust over time, but most importantly, equal and respectful partnerships that exist well before things 'go wrong.'", which found racism was one of the major contributors to negative school experiences, as well as teachers' low expectations and high staff turnover.
Lyndale Secondary College principal Pam Robinson said their school values of respect, resilience and responsibility were integral in how they approached their students.Principal Pam Robinson said this was an example of their school values in practice, which include respect, resilience and responsibility.
