Harmony Day

We celebrated Harmony Day on 21st March and what a day it was! The students buzzed with excitement as they walked through their door, with their traditional clothing highlighting the diversity of our College. We were fortunate to have Ms Angela Minuzzo, Senior Languages Education Officer at the Department of Education and Training, attend our assembly to help us officially launch our new Spanish program. We would like to express our gratitude to all families who contributed delicious food for our wonderful lunch feast! A big thank you to our staff for also helping out on the day. Three of our Year 7 and 8 students, Rakshita, Reet and Arnie, have shared their experiences:

 

Harmony Day was a blast! The Year 7 students got to do loads of different activities like salsa and international sports. Harmony Day was a great day and everybody in the ECSC community got to dress up in their traditional cultural clothing. Although this was really great, the highlight of the day was the amazing food. Students and teachers participated in a "cultural cookery" that everybody tried and we had a variety of delicious cuisines that everybody enjoyed. We can't wait for next year to enjoy another amazing Harmony Day!   By Rakshita, 7F 

 

 

Harmony Day was fantastic with lots of multicultural delicious food and fun activities that everyone participated in. For Year 8 students, the activities were silent disco, traditional African drumming and henna. In the silent disco, we wore headphones and danced but there was no music playing out loud. The African drumming was really fun and everyone made music with the drums. We first learned how to bang the drum and made many sounds with the djembe. At the end, our instructor Fred, did a little dance to show us how they danced in Ghana. There was also a stall for henna and many people chose really cool designs that were very creative. The food was really good and was from all over the world. Everyone had a fun time!  By Reet and Arnie, 8C
