Harmony Day Celebrations - 18 March 2020

Harmony Day is to promote diversity and acceptance of other cultures.  The essence of Harmony Day is “Everyone Belongs”. It is a day of cultural respect for all. Here at St Norbert College students and staff participate in Harmony Day activities and we get to learn more about other cultures. This special day will be an opportunity for us to share in the amazing stories of heritage and ethnicity of our peers, friends, colleagues and fellow community members.

As stated in the previous newsletter, we will host a whole school Liturgical Service and Multicultural Concert. On behalf of the Harmony Day Committee, I would like to thank the community members who offered to contribute to our International Food Fair which was planned to happen during lunchtime.

Given the current concern around the COVID-19 virus and after taking the most recent professional and medical advice, we have decided to postpone this aspect of the day. Please understand that we are not making this decision lightly, nor are we suggesting in any way that the preparation of food by our community members would put others at risk. Whilst current information suggests that the risk of transmitting this virus through food is low, our response to the growing virus concerns is purely precautionary in an effort to avert any risk of transmission. We understand that this decision may disappoint many in our community and for that, we apologise.

The revised schedule for the day is as follows: 

Wednesday Times of the Day

All students may wear their full College Sports Uniform with House shirt or traditional

attire of their heritage.

Thanks once again for your ongoing support to the St Norbert College Community.

Mrs C Miranda (Harmony Day Co-ordinator)
