Cultural Diversity Week

This week marks Cultural Diversity Week and Harmony Day.

Cultural Diversity Week is Victoria’s largest multicultural celebration, featuring an exciting program of festivals and events across metropolitan and regional areas. Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values.

• Today, almost half of Victorians were either born overseas or have at least one parent who was born overseas.
• We come from 200 countries, speak over 260 languages and follow more than 130 different faiths.

Activities planned for this week include:

• Daily Connect activities to highlight the importance of cultural diversity in our community.
• On Tuesday we are attempting a project involving some year 7’s and a drone.
• On Friday during lunchtime the Melbourne Djembe Drummers will be getting the students involved in drumming and dancing in the courtyard area.
