HARMONY WEEK
Melton South Primary School is taking part in Harmony Week 2023 (20th – 24th of March). Harmony Week is celebrated Australia-wide as a time to reflect on the importance of celebrating and respecting each other, and our differences. Through this event students at Melton South Primary School will be learning about different cultures to develop an understanding of inclusiveness and create a sense of belonging. Students will be participating in a range of learning including researching celebrations throughout the world, similarities and differences in lifestyles, traditional food, activities, beliefs, songs, games, and education.
In addition, Melton South Primary School will be holding a Harmony Day parade on Friday the 24th of March, to celebrate the wide range of different cultures we have within our school. Students can choose to wear the colour orange (orange is the colour that represents harmony) or wear something that symbolises their culture.
Please join us in celebrating Harmony together by coming to watch our parade!
