Several Year 12 students from Brighton Secondary College are believed to have dressed in white robes and Palestinian scarves known as keffiyehs
A Victorian secondary school has apologised after several year 12 students attended muck-up day celebrations dressed in traditional Arab clothing.
“The college is continuing to investigate the incident and appropriate action is being taken in response,” the spokesperson said. “I’d hate to think those those kids were doing anything more than just not thinking. People just need to be absolutely mindful of their actions and their words during these times,” Southwick, who is also Jewish, said.
Last month, the federal court’s chief justice, Debra Mortimer, ordered the Victorian government pay $435,000 in damages after finding the Brighton Secondary College students had been subjected to antisemitic bullying.
