Harmony Day 2023

Harmony

Last Tuesday, students and staff enjoyed a fantastic day of ‘belonging’, as we celebrated Harmony Day 2023. Gundagai Public School students participated in a variety of activities focusing on inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. It was great to see everyone get involved in the spirit of the day and participate with such enthusiasm. Harmony Day is an annual event that provides a time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, and the successful integration of migrants into our community. Australia is one of the most successful multicultural countries in the world and we should celebrate this and work to maintain it. The message of Harmony Week is ‘everyone belongs’. It is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values. We here at Gundagai Public School strongly believe that our shared Australian values of respect, equality and freedom go beyond our different cultures, and are what makes Australia such a great place to live. Our students certainly enjoyed the opportunity to share the message of ‘everyone belongs!’
