A teenage boy who attends a $33,000-per-year elite Melbourne private school was bashed after one of his friends called people of colour the N-word.

The Carey Baptist Grammar students were on their way to a school friend’s 16th birthday party in Kew when the altercation broke out. 

The two boys came across two people of colour while walking along High St in Kew, in Melbourne’s inner suburbs.

One of the students referred to the pair as the N-word, which resulted in his friend being assaulted.

Carey Baptist Grammar Principal Jonathan Walter said the school is aware of the incident where 'one of the students used inappropriate and racist language toward another young person'

The 16-year-old boy, who didn’t use the slur, was taken to hospital by paramedics with facial injuries.

Principal Jonathan Walter said the school is aware of the incident where ‘one of the students used inappropriate and racist language toward another young person’.

‘This type of language and behaviour is not tolerated by Carey which has a proud history of welcoming diversity in enrolment and promoting an environment of inclusivity and acceptance,’ he said in a statement to The Herald Sun. 

Police are investigating and said four males were involved involved in the altercation at about 7.10pm. 

Naomi Oakley, whose security company was working at the party, said her staff were told about the racial slur at the party. 

Ms Oakley wrote a letter to Mr Walter, saying she has ‘sadly seen an increase in the use of this word’ at youth events over the last few years. 

‘From time to time, I advise relevant secondary schools of certain situations that involve students,’ she wrote. 

She said despite the risk of losing clients, it was her duty to ‘call people out’ for racist behaviour. 

Mr Walter responded to Ms Oakley saying the school is ‘continually working to educate’ its students about respectful relationships and language.
