Harmony Week

Harmony Week is celebrated from the 18th March until 22nd March. Harmony Week is a time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, and the successful integration of migrants into our community. Australia is one of the most successful multicultural countries in the world and we should celebrate this and work to maintain it. The message of Harmony Week is everyone belongs.

We’re proud of our diversity with 37 families speaking a language other than English in their homes. These include Portugese, French, Korean, Indonesian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Spanish, Mandarin, Iranic, Cantonese, Arabic, Greek, Cantonese, Polish, Italian and Telugu.

On Thursday 21st of March our school will be celebrating Harmony Day. Each child will be given a piece of orange ribbon to wear, either on their wrist or in their hair to raise awareness

Positive Behaviour For Learning (PBL)

Week 4	MAKE A DIFFERENCE in classroom spaces by being a resilient learner
Week 5	STAY SAFE in outdoor spaces by keeping your hands and feet to yourself
Week 6	STAY SAFE in the toilets by using the water and toilet paper appropriately

SMASH is our acronym for our school wide expectations; Stay Safe, Make a Difference, Act Responsibly, Show Respect and Help Others.

Each week we have a whole school behaviour focus where we all work together to make an effort to act upon the behaviour. The students will learn about ways they can act upon this behaviour through role plays, drawings, conversations, dialogue and exploring examples as well as non-examples.
