Harmony Day – Friday 16 September

9:15am – 10:15am Junior Assembly

10:15am - 10:50am Cultural Food Fair (for parents only)

11:50am - 12pm Senior Assembly

This is the rescheduled date after Harmony Day was postponed because of flood recovery in term 1.  It is such an important event in our school each year, so I’m really excited that we get to celebrate together.  The day highlights that within our school there are many different cultural backgrounds and yet we can come together as a community to work and live in harmony and have respect for each other.  We will celebrate the day with two assemblies that include a flag procession and performances from our senior choir and each year level.  This year we are also introducing a “cultural food fair” for parents only, in between the junior and senior assemblies.  Please bring a plate of food to share that represents your cultural background, and if possible please write down a list of ingredients used.

The flagbearers are chosen firstly from student country of birth, and then parent country of birth.  If there are multiple students who were born in the same country, the oldest student is chosen.  Unfortunately I also don’t encourage siblings to help their older brother or sister to carry their flag, as there are significant numbers of students that need to be managed already.

I hope that you can join us as we celebrate Harmony Day 2022 even if it is a little late!

Parent Café

Please come and visit the staff who come each Tuesday morning at our coffee cart down in the junior school.  It is for all adults who are doing the morning drop-off at school, not just those in the junior school.
