HARMONY DAY – MONDAY 15 MARCH

09/03/2021
LIFE@HCC

Harmony Day is a celebration of our cultural diversity – a day of inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone who calls Australia home. Holy Cross College is blessed with a rich heritage of different cultures from around the world. To celebrate this diversity, the staff and student Inter-relationship team are holding a multi-cultural festival on Monday 15 March 2021.

HARMONY DAY PARADE

Clothing is a way that we can celebrate our diverse community. As a way of showing support for Harmony Day, students are encouraged to come to school dressed in traditional cultural costumes for the day (i.e. Dashiki’s, Sari, Agbada). They may also wear a traditional cultural top with College sports shorts and shoes. We can also celebrate our belonging through our involvement in community groups such as sports. Students may choose to wear a top that represents a sport or a plain orange shirt with College sports shorts and shoes. All students who dress to support Harmony Day must participate in the parade during HTG time. Students may choose to wear College uniform for the day with an orange ribbon which will be provided on the day. The College Standards for Uniform and Grooming on casual dress, jewellery and makeup will apply. Shorts, skirts, dresses, low-cut or skimpy tops, or clothing with inappropriate slogans or logos are not permitted.

LUNCHTIME FOOD FAIR

During the lunch break, a selection of food will be available for purchase from a range of countries for students to enjoy.  If you would like any of the following items, please pre-order from the College Café.  Alternatively, these foods will be available in the Café to purchase on the day.

There will also be a showcase of cultural tunes.

PARENT ‘CULTURAL COFFEE CONVERSATION’
