Principal:
Hi, I'm Liliana Mularczyk, Principal of Merrylands High
School. I'm in my fifth year here. We're a school of 800 students, 64 per cent
language background other than English. There are approx 54 cultures involved
in that, with a significantly growing proportion of refugees. Because of our
multicultural mix it is really important for us that we have responsibility and
respect in everything we do.
Ms Belinda Giudice:
The projects that our school has been involved in is called
'Values in Action: Our Community Counts' and it focuses on respect,
responsibility and right choice as avenues to underpin everything that happens
across our school community.
Student 1:
Respect at Merrylands High School comes across from
teachers, staff, students, family, community –
Student 2:
I've been able to grow up around that and then been able to
show the younger students that have come up now about respecting each other –
Student 1:
– and when you work together as one instead of individuals
you find life and school easier to progress.
