MULTICULTURAL DAY
Ciao!!
On Wednesday, 6th November we are having a Multicultural Day at Greenhills to celebrate all cultures. It will be a dress up day. Students can wear something to represent any culture. It can even be as simple as wearing the colours of a flag/printing a flag and pinning it to a t shirt. It is also the day that Preps to Grade 4 will experience a funfilled day watching performers from ‘Cultural Infusion’.
Grazie (Thanks)
Roberta Iebbiano.
