On Tuesday this week, Clonard College confirmed its commitment to anti-racism by signing a kangaroo skin in conjunction with the Barwon Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (Barwon LAECG).

Two of Barwon LAECG’s co-chairs Lily Edwards and former Clonard College student Bri Anna Hayes, visited the College to speak with students about the impact of racism and the importance of having strategies and procedures in schools. Barwon LAECG recently released their anti-racism statement, which calls for an end to racial injustice. The statement is burnt into a kangaroo skin and was signed on behalf of Clonard College by Principal Luci Quinn.

Barwon LAECG is inviting schools, education institutions and early learning center’s to officially sign the Barwon anti-racism statement as a commitment to standing boldly and proactively against racism.
