The department has indicated that it views this matter in a very serious light and if indeed these allegations are true, it condemns such conduct in the strongest terms. 

It added that, "There is absolutely no room for racism in any school, including independent schools."

The department will send officials to the school to ascertain what happened, how it happened, who was involved and what appropriate steps should be taken.
