Institutions, non-Aboriginal response

TABLE 24

Non-Aboriginal response to Schedule II Statements 5, 56, 10 -
..... Theorizing about multi-culturalism

I

Pt. Augusta High students gave most support to learning about
other cultures as compared with the notion that it is good to have a
mix of cultures, Salisbury North gave strong support both to having
a mix of cultures and learning about other cultures. It also gave
the strongest measure of disagreement to the notion that it is better
not to have coloured people in Australia.

All schools gave at least 50 per cent support to the statements
supporting multiculturalism, with Salisbury North, overall, being most
supportive.

The hypothesis of the acceptance of multi-culturalism in the
form of learning about cultures was supported.

In the light of their negative stereotyping of Aborigines, it was
surprising to find Pt. Augusta High rejecting the notion that it was
better not to have coloured people in Australia. On this statement,
Pt. Augusta came nearest to Salisbury North in its degree of support.

The hypothesis that those schools having a negative typification
of Aborigines would reject Statement '10 was not supported.
