HARMONY WEEK-

beg. 16 MARCH  

Murrumbeena Primary School will be celebrating our cultural diversity during Harmony Week with the students sharing artefacts from their cultural background.

We would like the students to bring an item with a short explanation of why it is important or valued in their culture. They will share the item and information with their class during the week.

The Menorah is used by Jewish families.

Some families celebrate Holi.

We encourage families to make some time to have a conversation about what they could bring to class and help your child to organise bringing the item to school.

 Happy Harmony Day!

Donated Easter eggs for the raffle can be dropped off in classrooms.
