Embedded Files
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are having Multicultural Day at school on Wednesday 6th September (Week 8), as part of our Education Week. This is a day to celebrate the different cultures we come from and promote unity in our school.
Last year we had Korean Day and earlier this year we had Mongolian Day. Some students asked our Principal, Ms Marchiello, if our school can have a Multicultural Day - to celebrate all the cultures and countries we are from. We have asked students and parents for ideas and this is the first time our school is having this event. We hope it will continue to grow every year! Thank you to Luca and Zoe in Stage 3 for giving us the idea :)
