Harmony Day - Bullying No-Way 2020

SJV Harmony Day - Bullying No-Way 2020 - Friday 13th March

The colours were vibrant and bright, the costumes and traditional dress looked phenomenal and there was orange everywhere.

It was a great day when we celebrated our SJV Harmony - Bullying No Way Day last Friday, 13th March. The students participated in activities that celebrated and recognised diversity and inclusion in Australia and at St John Vianney’s. They participated in activities that took place during the day and during our Harmony Day Prayer Service. Our activities include an Indian Dance, Aboriginal Games, a session about our culturally diverse classroom and a session about Bullying and the effect on people. 

During our prayer service, the focus was on how wonderful it is to have such a diverse community. This was also evident in the parade at the end of the day where each of SJV's cultures had an opportunity to show their traditional dress and parade in front of the school.

In a time where our community needs to support each other more than any other, our students showed how this can be achieved. To be respectful of others and at the same time proud of our own heritage is something of which we can be very proud.

A big 'well-done' to all the students and staff at SJV for such a fantastic event.
