Our Commitment to Preventing and Responding to Racism


At Cranbourne South Primary School, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for everyone. We follow a statewide policy from the Victorian Government that helps schools prevent and respond to racism and religious intolerance.

This policy supports the Child Safe Standards and requires all Victorian government schools to take action in three key areas:

1. Preventing Racism

We work to create a culturally safe and welcoming environment for all students and families.

2. Responding to Racism

If racism does occur, we have clear, respectful, and timely processes to address it.

3. Reporting Racism

All incidents of racism should be reported to the school leadership team and a plan put in place to support all students and families.

All schools are required to share the policy on their websites and provide information on how to report racism, both to the school and through the Report Racism hotline. The Report Racism hotline is available 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) on 1800 722 476.

As a school, we are building a culturally safe school with inclusive learning for everyone by working with staff, students, families, carers and communities. We will:

This policy applies to all staff, contractors, volunteers, and anyone working with students in government schools.

Racism is not tolerated in Victorian government schools. It can seriously affect a student’s wellbeing, learning, and sense of belonging. We are dedicated to making sure every student feels safe, valued, and respected.
