Harmony Day celebrating 1 April 2025
Embracing Diversity and Inclusion
St John Paul College is gearing up for a vibrant celebration of Harmony Day, a national event that promotes inclusiveness, respect, and belonging for everyone in Australia, regardless of cultural or linguistic background. This year's celebrations will be observed later this term and culminating on Tuesday, 1st April. It will be a fantastic opportunity for our school community to come together and recognise the rich tapestry of cultures that make our college so special.
Students and staff will be invited to participate in a variety of activities including:
- Cultural Food Stalls
- Lunchtime Sports Tournaments
- Harmony Day Assembly
- Harmony Stickers
- Cultural Music
- Games including Flag Guessing
- Henna
- Sharing Language Activities
Harmony Day is a reminder that everyone belongs, and St. John Paul College is committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
We are excited to celebrate the values promoted by Harmony Day - such as inclusivity, respect, and a sense of belonging, which closely align with the Gospel values of love, compassion, and the dignity of every human being. As Christians, we are called to recognise and celebrate the inherent worth of all people, reflecting Jesus' teachings to 'love your neighbour as yourself' (Mark 12:31).
Harmony Day encourages us to embrace diversity and foster a community where everyone is valued and welcomed.
