Cultural Diversity 

CULTURAL DIVERSITY WEEK

On Monday 19th March, Mount Eliza Secondary College hosted a multicultural day in conjunction with cultural diversity week. This was a day to celebrate all the wonderful cultures we have in Australia and the world.

It was a day for celebrating unity in our society, and as MESC students we demonstrated our pride in diversity.

During lunch time in the quad we played music from different countries had a belly dancing performance and served food from various nationalities. Students from IDEEA lab served baked sweets, Steiner school made and served wood fire pizza, International school served Chinese dumplings and offered Chinese calligraphy of student names, and student leaders cooked a lamb on the spit for souvlaki. Some students wore traditional cultural dress, while others wore the colour orange out of respect and acknowledgement of all cultures, we even had a Cleopatra!

The day itself was truly remarkable in student enthusiasm and participation, with the whole school coming together to eat, dance and listen to music. A true feeling of community was inspired as

we fed each other and enjoyed the musical and dancing talents of some of our students. The dedication of the teachers and leaders made the day truly memorable. We hope to escalate it’s success for many years to come at Mount Eliza Secondary College.
