Valuing diversity and inclusion
Help your child develop understanding, respect and acceptance of individual differences in your local school community and beyond the school gates.
You have an important role in helping your child understand, respect and value each individual in their school and wider community. A welcoming school culture values diversity and fosters positive, respectful relationships. A cohesive and culturally safe school ensures that everyone feels a sense of belonging and connectedness.
- Embrace cultural diversity in your child’s school
- Explore, understand and value difference
- Work in partnership with the school to tackle racism
- Strategies to support diversity in the school community
