COHR Italian Day

                                                          

 

Ciao a tutti! (Hello everyone!)

 

Italian Day is long overdue at COHR! We hope to celebrate this biennial event on 

 

Monday 21st June, 2021. 

 

The aim of this event is to recognise and embrace the Italian language and culture. The  Italian Day theme is  ‘COHR Festa Italiana’, Italian Festival. The day is linked to Italy's 

‘La Festa della Repubblica-Republic Day, an annual commemoration in Italy on June 2nd.

 

As part of the celebrations, students are encouraged to dress in either the colours of the Italian Flag or an Italian inspired costume such as; 

  • Pinocchio, Geppetto, Blue Fairy
  • Chef
  • Soccer player
  • Artist-Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci or the Mona Lisa
  • Traditional Italian Dancer

Links with Italy

  • Italian food; Pizza, spaghetti, gelati
  • Cars-Ferrari, Lamborghini
  • Fashion Designers -Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci  

The students will be placed in multi age groups and will be involved in various activities throughout the day. There will be a whole school incursion with a show entitled, ‘La Festa’ and a lucky raffle. The day will commence with a Liturgy, parade and student demonstrations. 

Grazie mille,(Many thanks),to Tarantino’s Pizzeria, (local COHR family business)andtheParents Association, who will organise a pre-ordered lunch package that will consist of Pizza slices and crostoli-Italian pastries.   

Your support and enthusiasm is appreciated and will help make this cultural event a success!
