Cultural Diversity Celebrations 

Monday 15 to Friday 19 March 2021

Cultural Diversity Activities

Although it was harder to keep the tradition in 2020 due to COVID restrictions, this year staff and students at the College were fortunate to celebrate Cultural Diversity Week in Term 1 from Monday 15 to Friday 19 March. Organised by the Languages Team (French and Japanese teachers), there was a  range of activities on offer for students throughout each day. Some of these activities included Daily Quizzes, viewing short films/documentaries, Poster Competition to demonstrate understanding of ‘Multiculturalism’, Calligraphy and Origami, Harmony Day awareness and International Food promoted by the College Canteen. 

 

A huge thank you to the Mordialloc College staff, in particular to Madame Champ, Capp Sensei and Baker Sensei for their assistance throughout the week.
