This week we celebrated Harmony Week, with students across the school proudly wearing orange on Tuesday and participating in activities that highlighted diversity, belonging, and respect. Classrooms explored cultures from around the world, while our Culture Club added to the excitement with hands-on experiences that encouraged students to celebrate what makes each of us unique.
Throughout the week classes engaged in learning experiences that emphasised acceptance and understanding within our community. Years 3–6 students participated in First Nations activities that deepened their understanding of Australia’s rich histories and cultures. On Wednesday Years 5 and 6 focused on respectful communication and acceptance in strengthening relationships, while on Friday, Years 3 and 4 explored what it means to get along with others and build positive friendships. A special thank you to Leo Dynevor, Kullilli Aboriginal man, for working with us and helping organise these meaningful activities for our students.
Our Italian Day fundraiser was another highlight, with delicious treats enjoyed by many while supporting our Italian program. The week came together at our Harmony Day assembly, where students reflected on respect, inclusion, and belonging—values that are clearly lived out across our Sunshine community every day.
