With 389 Chinese students set to reintegrate into Victorian schools, one principal says this could come across as an economic decision, rather than in the interests of student health
A Melbourne high school principal fears parents may view a government travel ban exemption for Chinese year 12 students as an economic decision, rather than in the best interests of student health.
Brighton Secondary College principal Richard Minack said schools would need to be vigilant against any discrimination aimed at returning Chinese students.Brighton Secondary College, a state school in Melbourne's southeast, hosts 40 to 45 Chinese students each year, with about 14 currently stuck in China.
"The risk is if it looks like an economic decision, rather than a health decision. That’s where the messaging to the school community can be tricky. Parents can say, 'there are year 11 or 12 students, why not others? Is there a residual risk to other students?'"
