WHY IS HARMONY DAY IMPORTANT?
Harmony Day helps us:

• Create sensitivity to and respect for differences
• Commit to our district values - Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Empathy and Fairness
• Celebrate our diverse and harmonious society
• Say ‘no’ to discrimination​

Harmony Day allows us to focus on the values which underpin our mission:

"To educate students in a safe inspirational learning environment where every student develops the knowledge and skills to be a lifelong learner and a healthy productive member of our global society."
