Students rallied in their cultural attire to create awareness of the many nationalities that make up their school community.

The theme for the national celebration was ‘Everyone Belongs’.

The week of celebration is a national initiative to promote Australia’s multicultural landscape, and to encourage kindness and inclusion.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit went along to see what the students got up to.
