Harmony Week Celebrations 18 - 24 March
Harmony Week is a time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, from the oldest continuous culture of our first Australians to the cultures of our newest arrivals from around the world. Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a core set of Australian values.
At MHPS our cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths and is at the heart of who we are. During Harmony Week our students will be focussing on learning experiences which support the Harmony Week theme Everyone Belongs and celebrating our diversity.
As is tradition at MHPS on the Wednesday in Harmony Week, we invite everyone to wear either cultural clothing, clothing that is significant to you and your family, or the colour orange. Traditionally orange signifies social communication and meaningful conversations. It also relates to freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect.
As it is School Photo Day on Wedneday 20 March our special clothing day will be on Wednesday 27 March.
Happy Harmony Week!
