Harmony Day Lunch and Assembly 2024
2024-03-21 13:00 - 14:30 (Australia/Perth) | Western Australia
Each year we celebrate Harmony Day at Forest Crescent. I would like to thank Mrs Rodricks for coordinating our Harmony Day activities. With approximately 200 students from a language background other than English 35% it is an important week of celebration and recognition of our cultural diversity. This year’s theme “Everyone Belongs” is a great theme for Forest Crescent where, as an inclusive school “Everyone Belongs”.
Harmony Day is on Thursday, 21st March 2024. Australia is proud to be culturally diverse and celebrates Harmony Day every year, a day where people of all cultures come together and spread the message that ‘everyone belongs’. This year is the 24th time Harmony Day will be celebrated across Australia. Harmony Day is a day when we can wear orange or our cultural 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 their home.
Since the assembly will be in the afternoon, parents are invited to enjoy lunch with their child/children and then spend time with them at lunch time till the assembly. Parents are requested to sign in at their child’s classroom if coming in for lunch. A special Harmony Day menu has been planned by the canteen and both students and parents can pre order their multicultural lunch offering. At 2:00pm, we will assemble in the Undercover Area for the special assembly and whole school song. Thank you also to Ms Auld and Ms Britten who have been teaching the students the whole school harmony day song.
