Harmony Day
Newsletter - Harmony Day
On Friday, 24th March, St Paul's Primary School celebrated Harmony Day, a day dedicated to promoting inclusivity and diversity. The school was buzzing with orange and good vibes, and everyone was excited to participate in the various activities planned for the day. These activities were designed to encourage students to interact with one another and promote inclusiveness.
On Thursday and Friday lunchtime, a chalkboard was set up near the tennis courts for middle and senior students, as well as one next to the tuckshop for junior students. The chalkboard had the message ‘We Belong’ in the centre. Students from all year levels participated by tracing their hands with chalk on the wall and embellished it with decorations throughout the day.
Collaborative Art Piece
In front of the Library door, there was a collaborative art piece with the quote ‘You + Me = Us’. It was designed for the children at St. Paul's to enjoy and colour. This art project was available during Thursday and Friday lunch breaks. After lunch on Friday, the Year 6 students enjoyed some mindfulness time to contribute to this art piece.
Harmony Day Bracelets
During lunch the students at St. Paul’s had the opportunity to make their own creative ‘orange’ bracelets with different types of fabric and some pieces of string. This allowed the students to be as creative as they want, after all, the sky's the limit!
Dancefloor
During lunch on Thursday and Friday there was a dance floor that was in the courtyard for all year levels to come and DANCE! Students got to request songs and listen to some best hits, including Harry Styles! All the students boogied and sang to each song. It was a really fun experience.
Framed Art Piece
An art piece was created with the participation of both students and staff, which will be displayed in the office after it is framed. Each individual involved added their own distinct fingerprint using either blue or green ink, resulting in a stunning and unique masterpiece.
Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with fun, laughter, and most importantly, a celebration of diversity and inclusivity. The school community came together, and the message of Harmony Day was loud and clear - we are all a part of this community, and we should celebrate and embrace our differences. Let's continue to work together to promote inclusivity and kindness in our school community.
