Harmony Day 2018

The Diversity Team is a new venture this year. We kicked off 2018 with Harmony Day being celebrated as a whole-school assembly on Wednesday 21st March in the gym. The assembly included some fantastic performances ranging from poetry about 'coming home', to speeches about looking at 'ability, not disability', Latin and Traditional Polynesian and Chinese dancing and a particularly celebratory rendition of 'Born This Way'. ​

We would like to introduce the Diversity Team and share our excitement to be celebrating all people within the MGC and wider community. This new team is focused on sharing, accepting and celebrating differences within all people. Our goal is to create more visibility and representation of minority and marginalised groups; this includes the LGBTQI+ community, people of colour, differently abled bodied people, people with mental disabilities, Indigenous Australians, refugees and immigrants, International people, people of religious groups facing discrimination and many others not mentioned. We are looking to normalise differences, provide a forum for people to voice their concerns and talk about their experiences, as well as provide the school community with the opportunity to better understand these groups. Our main aim is to promote a safer environment in which people feel safe, supported and accepted through language, gestures and actions.
