Only two states ask students about their experiences of racism at school. Experts say it should happen across Australia
ABCFor the first time last year students across Victoria were asked a simple but complicated question, have you experienced racism? "As a school, we've always been conscious of the student makeup of our school, how diverse it is," Lyndale Secondary College principal Pam Robinson told the ABC. "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. "Anti-racism strategies should already be embedded within all Australian schools, toward dismantling the pervasive effects of racism on not only Indigenous but all learners," she said. Lyndale Secondary College principal Pam Robinson said their school values of respect, resilience and responsibility were integral in how they approached their students.
