Harmony Day 2009

Happy Harmony Day 2009

Congratulations to Chloe Glassie on her wonderful poem titled 'Harmony Day is Coming Our Way' .
Keep your eyes on our blog because we will post it shortly. The whole school clearly got the message that we 'belong together!'

2009 Theme: 'BUILDING COMMUNITY HARMONY'

The theme supports one or more of the following aspects highlighted by Harmony Day:

  • A society that promotes tolerance and understanding between different cultural and ethnic groups and respects the language, culture and religion of minority groups
  • A society that encourages respect for difference and rebukes humiliation of groups or individuals perceived to be different
  • A society that is dedicated to combating prejudice and discrimination
  • A society that recognises the qualities of different cultural and ethnic groups
  • A society that promotes access and equity for minority and/or disadvantaged groups
  • A society that is considerate and has support and understanding for those who are less fortunate
  • A society that does not discriminate against individuals or groups on the basis of religion, gender, ethnic origin or age
  • A society opposed to vilification, hate mongering and violence.
