Harmony Day ~

A wonderful day of celebration for Harmony Day, where our students showcased their appreciation for diversity and unity. Harmony Day, which is celebrated annually on March 21st, is a day dedicated to celebrating Australia's cultural diversity and promoting inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for everyone.

Our school embraced the spirit of Harmony Day with enthusiasm, engaging students in prayer and various activities that highlighted the importance of cultural harmony and understanding. Our students are so proud of who they are and where they come from, it is just so wonderful to see and be a part of the inclusive and vibrant culture we have created here at St. Mel's.

Here's a glimpse into the colourful festivities that took place:
