It’s Harmony Week! 

This Friday the 25th of March, students are to wear casual clothes with ‘a touch of orange’ as it is the colour for Harmony. Students are encouraged to try and pack some ‘Orange’ food into their lunches - eg: carrots, oranges, mangos, peaches and many more. You could also pack your child some cultural food, for example if you're Italian you could pack some pasta. 

In the canteen, Gill will be working hard and providing a special ‘Harmony Day’ menu for students and staff to order from. Some orange foods you could pack your child/children are:

Things to look out for during the special week - fun classroom activities, whole school art activity run by the S.R.C leaders and Mrs Saunders (the art teacher) on Thursday at lunch time and lots more engaging activities. The Year 4 & 5 students will be participating in an incursion, ‘Wominjeka: The Reconciliation Workshop’,  run by Jan Wozitsky, a storyteller and songwriter. Jan teaches students to sing a song of respect for Indigenous people. The song contains many stories of black-white history which Jan tells with the aid of appropriate images. There is significant discussion and the song is recorded so students and choirs can sing it again at concerts, assemblies and Indigenous Welcome to Country.

All grades will be doing fun activities in art:

Preps, One’s and Two’s: making their hands with clay or paper. 

Three’s: oranged themed gel prints

Four’s, Fives and Sixes: finger knitting 

I hope to see every student wearing a touch of orange on the Friday!
