2023 Harmony Week Celebration Tuesday 21st March
Harmony Week is the celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds.
It is about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.​
We will be celebrating on Tuesday 21st March and encourage students to wear traditional cultural clothes to recognise and celebrate the school's cultural diversity. If you do not have traditional dress, you can also wear orange, which is the official colour for Harmony Day. (Suitable footwear for school and school hat must be worn.) Otherwise, school uniform as usual.
At Albion, our shared values of respect, care and honesty go beyond the different cultures and helps make Albion Primary School such a great place to be.
We will be parading around the oval at 3:00pm as a school community. Parents are most welcome to join us in the harmony walk.
