Every year on the 21st of March, we celebrate Harmony Day. Harmony Day is where we celebrate Australian multiculturalism, inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all. 

On Friday students were invited to wear the colour orange, or clothing from their cultural background. Below is some photos of children from Friday.

Today we looked a little deeper at what Harmony Day means and also what it means to us and for us. Children spent some time drawing an image of themselves, as well as thinking of one word that described them. They were allowed to think of any word they wished; we discussed using words or names of our culture/s, as well as words which they thought described them as people.

Oliver; it is a day to celebrate us.

Addison; Celebrating easter

Eliana; it teaches us to be kind each day,

Christellar; so we can celebrate the world.

Thomas; Celebrating our kindness.

Will; peace on earth.

Riva; Be kind to everyone.

Harmony; Be happy from Harmony Day.

Raavi; You wear orange and you celebrate. 

Below is an image of our classroom display, where we will continue to celebrate our differences throughout the year and be proud of the people we are.
