Harmony Week - Non Uniform Day
This year, ‘Harmony Week’ is taking place on the week commencing 20 March. This week is dedicated to recognising and celebrating Australian multiculturalism and is a great opportunity to celebrate inclusivity for all, regardless of cultural or linguistic backgrounds.
There will be a variety of activities taking place at Alphington Grammar School over Harmony week. The one I am sure all the students (and staff!) will be looking forward to is the non-uniform day, taking place on Tuesday 21 March, which is also the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Students are invited to make a $2 donation and wear their casual clothes with a splash (or more!) of orange.
This year, all money raised will be going towards the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Australia’s largest human rights organisation providing support to people seeking asylum.
Please watch this space for an update on how the week went!
