Confident, Caring, Respectful Learners

Yarragon Primary School & Early Learning Centre is committed to fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment where racism is not tolerated. Racism harms students’ mental health, learning and sense of belonging. We celebrate the diversity of cultures, ethnicities and faiths of all our students. It is up to all of us to make our school a place that is free of racism and where everyone feels respected and can learn in a safe and inclusive environment.

​

What Yarragon Primary School & Early Learning Centre is doing to prevent racism:

Yarragon Primary School & Early Learning Centre follow the Department of Education’s Preventing and Addressing Racism in Schools Policy. We are building a culturally safe school with inclusive learning for everyone by working with staff, students, families, carers and communities. We will:

• provide programs that teach about and celebrate diversity, inclusion and the impact of racism to build understanding and empathy

• use practices that support all students to thrive

• implement anti-racism efforts to prevent and address racism effectively

• make sure everyone feels safe, with clear and accessible pathways to report racism

• work with School Council and student leaders to address racism as a community responsibility
