Celebrating Harmony Day, Reidy Park Primary School students learnt about the successful integration of migrants in the country, students displayed respect for cultures across the world by taking part in a day of fun activities.
Organised by students, they tried sporting and craft activities which originated in varying countries.
“Each activity will do with a different country so students could go between them and get a stamp on their ‘passport’ once completed,” student leader Luke said.
Wearing the Harmony Day colour of orange to signify social communication and meaningful conversations, students gained a better understanding of what harmony means.
“Hamony Day is about respecting all countries coming together because people from all over the world now live in Australia,” student Thomas said.
