Students came dressed up to school on Friday, March 14, wearing traditional outfits from their cultures.

The day included a whole school dress-up parade, followed by Harmony Day activities.

Harmony Day, celebrated on Friday, March 21, honours Australia’s rich cultural diversity in a day about inclusivity, respect and creating a sense of belonging for everyone.
