ITALIAN DAY - Wednesday 19th October 2022

Yesterday we celebrated the Italian Language and Culture as a community. All the children came dressed in their beautiful costumes making connections to Italian culture. We had an array of colourful costumes ranging from Barilla Pasta, Roman Centurions, racing car drivers, vespas, cyclists, artists, soccer players, tennis players, gondoliers, gelato vendors, pizzas, Mona Lisas, Leonardo Da Vinci’s, chefs, flags and many more. 

Students were involved in a range of exciting activities throughout the day. They played soccer and bocce, they learned a traditional tarantella dance, made pasta designs, played tombola and painted in a similar manner to Michaelangelo.

At lunchtime students enjoyed a special treat with a tasting of a slice of Margherita pizza and a gelato! Delizioso!

I would like to thank you all for supporting the children with their magnificent costumes. 

Thank you to the parents and friends who helped organise lunch for the children and assisted with the setting up this morning.

Thank you to Vince Dimitri from Performing Arts Workshop, for teaching all the children the Tarantella: a traditional Italian Folk Dance.

Everyone experienced a really happy and fun-filled day! Fantastico ragazzi!

Congratulations!
