Harmony Day-21 March

Harmony Day is a day when we celebrate Australian Multiculturalism. Australia is one of the most successful multicultural countries in the world and we should celebrate this and work to maintain it.

Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all of Australians regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values

Harmony Day will fall on a Saturday this year so St Patrick’s School will celebrate Harmony Day on Friday 20^th March.

Students,staff and members of the school community are asked to wear something ORANGE.

WHY ORANGE?

Orange is the colour chosen to represent Harmony Day. Traditionally, orange signifies social communication and meaningful conversations. It also related to the freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect. Australians can choose to wear something orange on Harmony Day to show their support for cultural diversity and an inclusive Australia.

Students will be made aware of the significance of wearing orange over the coming weeks.

So start looking for something orange to wear.!!!!
