Harmony Day Celebration

Mon 18^th March (Wk8 T1)

On the 18th of March we held a Harmony day assembly at Coro. We held it in the gym and everything ran smoothly. To start off the day the junior choir performed a beautiful song by Jemma King. Then the Receptions sang the Colebrook song. Everyone wore orange and brought their flags that we all drew ourselves. We also had a Harmony day quiz and asked questions like what year did Harmony day start. Then the senior choir sang Watoto, a song from a village in Tanzania East-Africa. All of us did an excellent job and should be really proud of ourselves.

On the18^th of March, students dressed in the color of harmony, orange, gathered in the school gym to celebrate Harmony Day, celebrating unity and diversity in our country. Our Harmony Day leaders, Michael, Cas, Jake, Emelia, Mila, Freya, and Ava talked about what Harmony Day was about and we added exciting Harmony Day quizzes, and surprisingly, no student got them all right. We also saw the reception students sing their Colebrook Song, which talked about respecting the Kaurna People. It was cute, and meaningful. Later, we shared the flags of our countries. It was fascinating to see the diversity of backgrounds in our school. Next, we saw the Senior Choir perform Watoto, a traditional South African song. The students did an amazing job in listening carefully and participating. The leaders did an amazing job in hosting the quiz.

On the 18th of March we held a Harmony day assembly at the gym. Our hosts were Ava, Cassian, Emilia, Freya, Jake, Michael and Mila. We started off the day with a beautiful song from the junior choir singing the acknowledgment of the country by Jemma King, followed by the reception students singing the Colebrook song. Everyone wore orange to celebrate unity, harmony and multiculturalism. All students made flags from where they or their ancestors are from. We did a Harmony Day quiz to see what people know about Harmony day, in the end nobody got all the answers right. To finish off our assembly we had the senior choir sing Watoto, a traditional song from Tanzania in East Africa. The celebration was very successful because everybody had fun and the hosts were simply amazing. We felt very proud of how everything went, and we think that the Harmony Day assembly for 2024 will be remembered for years to come.
