A colourful celebration of culture took place at St Peter’s Catholic Primary School last week.

The school’s deputy principal Maree McIntosh said it was a way of celebrating everything that makes the school great.

“We have this day to celebrate the rich diversity our school possesses and highlight how each and every culture is great,” she said. “It’s important we acknowledge everyone and how they make Sunshine great.”

The day began with the crew from Kaboom Sports hosting outdoor activities, before things moved inside for mass and a feast.

“The carers and parents make a dish relating to their culture and we share them in our gym in a big feast,” Ms McIntosh said. “This is the third year we’ve done this and it’s great to see all the parents and families get involved.”

Pupils were also encouraged to don traditional cultural dress on the day.
