Harmony Day 2019!

Thank you to everyone who made Harmony Day so special this year!

Students did a wonderful job making stars for our whole school artwork. Our Year 5s worked with their kinder buddies on worry dolls. We all enjoyed a lavish Harmony Day feast thanks to our wonderful parent volunteers. Our great day finished with a whole school assembly filled with performances and speeches. Enjoy the photos below!
