Brinbeal Secondary College 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 at Brinbeal Secondary College 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.
