Week 8 Around the School
We started Catholic Education week off with a BANG! The whole school turned up in their t-shirts to take part in a Colour Fun Run. There was lots of fun and excitement as students ran and danced along with Chase the Cheetah the Fun Run mascot. Thank you to our amazing PA parents for organising and running this wonderful event and a HUGE thank you to all those families who donated and supported us with this fundraiser.
Harmony Week
Harmony Week is an annual celebration of Australia’s cultural diversity and the benefits it brings to the Australian community.
Harmony Week is a time to celebrate that Australia is one of the most successful multicultural societies in the world. It is about
inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core
Australian values. Our cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths and is at the heart of who we aim to be. It makes
Australia a great place to live.
Building on over 65,000 years of First Nations cultures, Australia has become home to migrants from nearly 300 different
ancestries. Australia’s immigration history has helped build our modern nation. Orange is the colour chosen to represent
Harmony Week. Traditionally, orange signifies social communication and meaningful conversations. It also relates to the freedom of
ideas and encouragement of mutual respect. Let us all remember the motto – EVERYONE Belongs.
