HARMONY DAY - MONDAY 21ST MARCH
EVERYBODY BELONGS!
Harmony Week (21st March to 28th March) celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.
Australia is one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world. This diversity is part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and has grown in the last 200 years, joined by people from over 150 cultures from around the world.
We come together to celebrate Harmony Day on 21 March. Created in 1999 to celebrate unity and diversity, Harmony Day was originally an Australian celebration but is now marked worldwide by conscientious citizens. Whether you want to be better friends with your neighbors or stand in the shoes of another, we’ve got some harmonious habits and unifying ideas to make your Harmony Day a picture of peace.

Harmony Day - supporting children and families of Ukraine.
This year, the Junior School Council have chosen to support children and families of Ukraine.
Students are asked to come dressed in the colours of the Ukrainian Flag (see below).
Please bring a Gold Coin donation on the day to support Harmony Day and the Ukrainian people who are most in need of our support from afar.
