A local school has brought artistic flair to Harmony Day, celebrating multiculturalism with a wall of art and a ‘Harmony Tree’.
On Monday 21 March, students at Bacchus Marsh Primary School placed leaves made of recycled cardboard and ribbons on the Harmony Tree, as well as drawings of various countries’ flags.
On the ribbons, students wrote how they would like to see Harmony Day in action at school, with ideas including an extension of Harmony Day into ‘Harmony Week’, with each day dedicated to a different culture.
The event was organised by Visual Arts Teacher Megan Fromholtz, and the school’s Art Captains: Allyssa, Mikita, Taylah, Rebecca, Sophie, Eddie, Mackenzie, and Amitoz.
Ms Fromholtz said the day was an important opportunity to foster respect for all cultures, and help the community understand cultures different to their own.
