In a spectacular display of colours and cultures, students from the Albion North Primary School highlighted their strong diverse bonds as part of this year’s Harmony Week celebrations.

Marking the annual initiative on March 19, the school participated in a craft project, and also organised a rich cultural parade showcasing the unique traditions of the students.

“It reminds everyone that we are all part of one supportive and inclusive school,” Albion North Primary School teacher Lee-Anne Veteha said.

“The event showcases many cultures, including Vietnamese, Indian, Australian, African, and more.

“During the cultural parade, students proudly wear traditional clothing, representing their heritage — this diversity is a core part of our school identity, helping students feel valued and teaching them to appreciate the rich backgrounds of their peers.”

Ms Veteha said students learnt a number of important lessons through the events.

“By participating in the parade and the whole-school craft project, they see how each culture contributes to our school’s vibrant community,” she said.

“They also understand that diversity makes us stronger and that working together creates something meaningful.”
