Our EALD students will be leading us in this Harmony Day Liturgy. All children will be encouraged to wear orange to support Harmony Day. Harmony Day focusses on Australia’s multiculturalism. We are planning on having a Liturgy at 10am and then we have asked people to cook a traditional meal to represent their country to allow the students in our school to have a little taste test. I know we have a number a fabulous cooks out there. Please let Mr Kemp know if you could help out in cooking on this day via his email lachlan.kemp@mn.catholic.edu.au
