Years 1/2 A and B - A lot of learning has been happening in 1/2 classes as well as some fun. From retelling cultural stories, to looking at chance events, collecting data, teen numbers and higher two-digit numbers. We had a wonderful incursion for Science with Ambrose from Urban Utilities. He told us about his family and connection to country near Alice Springs. We created an artwork that told the story of our connection with extended family overseas or in other parts of Australia. We’ve also been busy getting ready for the Happy Hat Parade.

Year 3 proudly celebrated Harmony Day, a special occasion dedicated to celebrating diversity, inclusion, and respect for all cultures. Students, teachers, and parents came together to make this day truly memorable!

On the day of the celebration, many students wore bright orange clothing or traditional costumes representing their cultural backgrounds. It was fantastic to see such a beautiful mix of colors and styles, reflecting the rich tapestry of cultures within our school community.

Our classes  are fortunate to have students from many different parts of the world. Some of our students were born overseas, while others have parents who were born in other countries. We also have First Nations students, and it was wonderful to see their cultures celebrated as well.

Harmony Day is a reminder that we are all unique, yet we share the same space, and it is important to foster respect, kindness, and understanding for everyone, no matter where they come from. We hope this celebration continues to inspire students to embrace diversity in all its forms.
