Today we celebrated Harmony Day at school and all around Australia. The message for Harmony Day in 2012 is that Everyone Belongs, which means all Australians are a welcome part of our country, regardless of their background. It’s a time to reflect on where Australia has come from, recognising the traditional owners of this land. It’s also about community participation, inclusiveness and respect – celebrating the different cultures that make Australia a great place to live.
We celebrate the cultural diversity of our nation.
Orange is the colour that we wear to show our support for Harmony Day.
OUR SLEG students held a Harmony Day assembly to show what each class had done to celebrate the day and to discuss what Harmony Day means for all of us.
Here are the photos from our day:

Gorgeous pictures! Since coming to Adelaide from the UK 6 years ago we’ve certainly been made to feel very welcome. We love Australia! And we love that there are people here from all over the world 🙂
What a wonderful celebration! The diversity of our populations is another thing that our 2 countries have in common. We were wondering what SLEG students are. We asked Katie, but she was not sure.
Harmony day is very important and I am very glad that you class celebrated it. (Cooper F)
