The flags of the world marched across the school grounds, filling the space with reds, yellows, greens and blues.

Students piled through the school gates in clothing from around the globe, excited to show off their culture and heritage.

Orrvale Primary School held its multicultural day on Friday, June 14, and enjoyed activities, a parade and lots of fun.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit went along to enjoy the day. Here’s what she captured.
