Harmony Day at St John's - 17 March
Everyone Belongs
Harmony Day celebrates Australia's cultural diversity, focusing on inclusivity, respect and the message that "everyone belongs". It coincides with the UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. People wear orange to signify social communication and support for a multicultural society. Students are invited to wear their Cultural Dress, Orange Clothing or Green for St Patrick's Day.
