Harmony Day is all about belonging, and at St Albans Heights Primary School (SAHPS) there is no better way to celebrate the occasion than with its annual welcome barbecue.

SAHPS community liaison officer Leanne Etemovic said the day was an opportunity for families to meet the staff and get to know other families that make up the school’s diverse community.

“Our families got to experience each other’s cultures, enjoyed Henna, face painting, experienced sack races, egg and spoon races and made badges and art displays to show their solidarity that followed this year’s theme of ‘Everyone Belongs’,” Ms Etemovic said.

“We also invited families to come dressed in their cultural dress or orange, to showcase our dynamic multicultural community that we here at SAHPS are very proud of. Families participated in Zumba sessions, performed Cultural dance’s and much more.”
