The College ran various fun and interactive programs with all students from both Junior and Senior School to celebrate HARMONY WEEK from 16th till 20th March (Week 7 of the first term). The Harmony Day Motto was * 鈥淓veryone belongs鈥�* and was celebrated on Thursday, 19th March when students wore orange accessories and clothes for gold coin donations and attended a Special Morning Assembly.
On this occasion, Principal Mr Andrew Houghton presented students, staff and parents with a beautiful mosaic art work, which will be permanently exhibited inside the Junior School Building.
The mosaic is called 鈥淭he Tree of Life鈥� and was received as a gift from Sr. Anisa Sharif, member of the Federal Police and well-known mosaic artist.
Besides, students could get henna applied for a gold coin donation. Staff joined the celebrations with orange ribbons, hijabs and clothes worn throughout the week.
It is the pleasure to announce that we have collected approx. $384 from gold coin donations. This money will be given to support refugees in Australia.
Classroom activities for Harmany Week ranged from making a harmony tree and a good deeds chain to writing the word 鈥減eace鈥� in multiple languages. Students also shared messages of peace, harmony, friendship and collaboration. Another highlight was the friendly soccer match between Senior Boys students against male teachers and a Netball match between Senior Girls students and female teaching staff.
