Amen TERM 1 WEEK 8 - 20 MARCH 2024 PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGEDear Parents and Caregivers, Harmony Week For schools, Harmony Week provides an opportunity to educate students about the importance of tolerance, acceptance, and empathy towards people from diverse backgrounds. This fits so well with our Religious Education programs, Highway Heroes, and the way in which we integrate our SHARER model into our classrooms. On Friday, we celebrate Harmony Day and children are invited to wear orange clothing or accessories to celebrate. This may be free dress with orange. Please do not feel pressured to buy a new outfit.
