Crazy Clothes Day

On Monday, students and staff dressed up in crazy clothes to help raise money for Caritas Australia as part of Project Compassion.

Our faith leaders, Finley and Abby have worked hard to organise such a creative and engaging event for everyone.

Harmony Day

Today, students and visitors participated in the Harmony Day liturgy.

Harmony Day is the day during Harmony Week when schools and community organisations come together to celebrate the diversity in our community among Australians of all different backgrounds. It is an opportunity to show respect and foster a sense of belonging for people who have chosen to make Australia their home.

Typically, the colour associated with Harmony Week is orange, as it signifies social communication and meaningful conversations. It also relates to the freedom of ideas and the encouragement of mutual respect. It was wonderful to see so many students get involved not only in the liturgy but also by wearing a splash of orange for the day.
