Harmony Day
On Thursday 21 March, Tarneit P-9 College celebrated Harmony Day. It is about community participation, inclusiveness, celebrating diversity, respect and belonging. On this day, we asked students to wear a touch of orange to show their acceptance towards one another. Throughout the week, students completed curriculum based activities in the classroom and on the main day students took part in performances such as singing and dancing. Headspace also assisted with helping our students create a mural that symbolizes all of our school values: Pride, Learning, Inclusive and Responsible.

Harmony Day
Harmony Day is a day when ‘everybody belongs’. It is when we share our traditions. It is when we bring peace to land. This day we share gratefulness of our cultural diversity. We share our religions and learn about them. This day, our eyes open up and we can see the similarities and differences of other people. We are all unique. To show all these things, we may make handprints and stick them all together. We too can create a poster and stick them around the town. Plus, we can be kind to other people. Harmony Day is an important day. It is when the whole world comes together.

Harmony Day
Harmony day is a day where everyone puts their differences and accepts everyone for who they are. I mean, Harmony Day itself means, when you live in peace and without conflict. Even in school’s students are learning about harmony. In class we did an assignment on how harmony influences and effects our life. Harmony plays an important role in life, no one wants to fight like in world war one and two instead harmony should have taken place. In class we made hands and we wrote the celebrations, foods, sports clothing and landmarks of our family’s culture on a cut out of our own hands. This was a great activity because we got to learn about each other’s countries and backgrounds. That is why harmony day is so important.

Anglicare Victoria
Anglicare Victoria, supported by the Harold Mitchell Foundation would like to introduce our new youth suicide prevention project, The Clique.
The Clique project aims to engage with young people between the ages of 12-25 living within the Wyndham area who have recently attempted to end their life. We also give practical advice & assistance to parents and carers on how to support their young person.
Clique is hoping to deter young people from another attempt by establishing links to their local community, connecting them with organisations that can help them understand their mental health, meet their social and emotional needs, and through practical support of our youth workers support those young people to attend their initial clinical appointments.
At Anglicare Victoria we realise the importance of being connected to community, having a strong sense of self, and feeling a sense of purpose. With this in mind we aim to empower our vulnerable young people by
connecting them to things like sport, education, employment, training, mental health, youth supports etc.
