Harmony Day - Tuesday 21st March
Harmony Day is a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home- from the traditional owners of this land to those who have come from many countries around the world.
Harmony Day is a time to celebrate Australia’s cultural diversity and promote inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging with its key message being ‘Everyone Belongs’.
To celebrate Harmony Day, our school will be having a whole school dress-up day where everybody is asked to please wear a touch of orange. This could be an orange hair ribbon, an orange hat, orange socks, an orange T-shirt/ jumper, etc.
We look forward to seeing everybody in orange on Tuesday 21st March, to celebrate Harmony Day.

Curriculum Contributions 2023
Thank you to all the families who have paid curriculum contributions so far this year. All money paid goes towards supplying your children with the items needed for their classrooms and specialist classes. Without families paying, we would not be able to offer the great programs that we currently run. If you are yet to make payment towards the curriculum contributions, it’s not too late. Payment can be made via Compass (it will show as Course Confirmation / School Payments) or at the school office.
If you are yet to order a Jamo Journal, this can be done using the same link.
