Diversity and Inclusion.

Inclusive education means that all members of the Dandenong Primary School community are valued and supported to fully participate, learn, develop and succeed within an inclusive school culture.

Our aim is to create safe and inclusive school environments for all students, families, staff and visitors.

Victoria has a strong and vibrant education system that celebrates diversity and is committed to supporting the achievement and participation of all students. Inclusive education acknowledges that some children and young people have intersecting identities or additional needs that schools may need to take into consideration. These identities may relate to:

• having a disability or additional learning needs

• gender identity

• sexual orientation

• being an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person

• race

• cultural identity

• speaking a language other than English

• social factors

• economic factors

• experience of abuse, neglect or family violence.
