On Wednesday 21 March, Tenison Woods College was a sea of orange to welcome in Harmony Day.  Students from the Senior and Middle School Councils greeted students and parents at the entrances to the school with orange ribbons and harmony pledges.  All students from Early Learning to Year 12 then gathered on the oval in a huge harmony heart to celebrate together in prayer and cheer together the diversity of Harmony Day. 

Throughout the day the Early Learning Centre and Junior School had a focus on Harmony activities with lunch time being the main focus for students in all year levels. Students were able to involve themselves in activities from a variety of cultures such as a soccer shoot out, henna and face painting, and braiding. There was also a scrumptious range of cultural foods on offer for purchase and all this was accompanied by music and lively commentary.

The day concluded with a delightful harmony dinner where staff, students and their families were able to join together and try food from a range of different cultures in a friendly atmosphere. 

Harmony Day is a time to celebrate the diversity of our community and the great contributions our migrant families make to extending our cultural understanding. 

I would like to thank the students, staff and parents who contributed to making Harmony Day so successful.
