DEVELOPMENTS relating to allegations of antisemitic abuse at Brighton Secondary College have taken a new twist, with news that five Jewish ex-students have now begun legal action against the Victorian government over their treatment at the school.
In 2020, The AJN reported exclusively about antisemitic conduct towards Jewish pupils at Brighton Secondary College. The Victorian Department of Education later launched an investigation, which resulted in a 124-page report that included 18 recommendations to reform reporting and monitoring policies at the school, and other measures for handling antisemitic and racist behaviour in Victorian schools.
