Harmony Day Assembly 2026
2026-03-19 13:50 - 14:45
Harmony Day is on Saturday, 21st March 2026. Australia is proud to be culturally diverse and celebrates Harmony Day every year, where people of all cultures come together and spread the message that ‘everyone belongs’.
This year is the 27th time that Harmony Day will be celebrated across Australia. Harmony Day is a day when we can wear orange or our traditional dress that says, ‘Together we will achieve great things,’ and a day when we all show more than just respect for each other. It is a day for cultural recognition for all people who call Australia home.
Forest Crescent Primary’s Harmony Day Assembly will be held on Thursday, 19th March.
On Thursday, 19th March, students can wear their National Costume or come dressed in orange to symbolise Harmony Day. This is not a Free Dress Day; only a national costume or orange should be worn. All other students are in school uniform as usual.
The canteen has opened on Flexischools for Harmony Day lunches. The canteen will NOT have regular orders available on Thursday, 19 March; only pre-orders will be available. Parents, if you choose to order for yourself, please order under your child’s name. ORDERS NEED TO BE IN BY SUNDAY EVENING, 15/3/2026
Parents are welcome to come and have lunch with their children (signing in at your child’s classroom) from 1.05 – 1.45 pm. Thank you to Mrs Rodricks for coordinating our Harmony Day activities, Ms Britten and Ms Auld for teaching the whole-school song, and Mrs Kimwatan and her helpers in the canteen. The assembly will be held on the grass quadrangle adjacent to the undercover area from 2.00 pm – 2.50 pm. We educate students from many cultures, students with differing abilities, linguistic backgrounds and from various personal circumstances and family combinations
