All three schools and the Executive Council of Australian Jewry all declined to comment on how many students had stayed home on Thursday and how the school communities were responding to the attack.
I think that answers my question.
I can tell you how my daughters school reacted:
Dear Parents and Carers
As you may be aware an incident occurred in the community yesterday afternoon in which several students, from other schools were racially vilified on a bus.
As a result of this incident it is understandable that some members of our community are concerned for the safety and wellbeing of their own children. I wish to reassure all parents that Rose Bay Secondary College does not and will not tolerate any incidents of racial vilification within the school and will take the strongest actions, consistent with our school discipline code, if an incident did occur.
Rose Bay Secondary College has worked very hard to develop a culture of tolerance and understanding of the different cultural beliefs of our broad school community and our students demonstrate this on a daily basis. I am enormously proud of our students and the manner in which they welcome new students to our school regardless of their backgrounds.
As a school we are aware that conflicts occurring around the world are impacting upon members of our school community and we are able to provide support to individual students if their schooling is being impacted upon. Please feel free to contact myself or the Deputy Principals if you wish to discuss any individual cases.
