BPPS Harmony Day - Tuesday 21st March
EVERYBODY BELONGS!
On Tuesday the 21st March we will be celebrating Harmony Week by having a special day at school.
What to wear: Wear clothes that represent your family culture.
What to bring: Students are encouraged to bring a gold coin to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital.
Harmony Week is the celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds.
Australia is one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world. This diversity is part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and has grown in the last 200 years, joined by people from over 150 cultures from around the world.
We come together to celebrate Harmony Day on 21 March. Created in 1999 to celebrate unity and diversity, Harmony Day was originally an Australian celebration but is now marked worldwide by conscientious citizens. Whether you want to be better friends with your neighbours or stand in the shoes of another, we’ve got some harmonious habits and unifying ideas to make your Harmony Day a picture of peace.
