Harmony Week Activities
Between 21-25 March we celebrate Harmony Week in Australia. Harmony Week is the celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.
Sacred Heart is pleased to host our annual celebration on Thursday 23rd with everyone invited to wear something special to school. It might be an item representing your family’s cultural heritage or an item of orange clothing to recognise ‘we all belong’.
Teachers and students are invited to share their different backgrounds. Teachers may send home an activity sheet for your family to complete in order to help your child share what part of the world is in your family history.
If you have an activity you would like to share with your child’s class eg: a book to read, artefact to share, art or song to do together, please contact your class teacher.
In the spirit of Harmony Day, I wish you a happy St Patrick’s day for Friday 17th March and share this Irish blessing with you.
May you have love that never ends,
Lots of money, and lots of friends.
Health be yours, whatever you do,
And may God send many blessings to you!
Mrs Wode (nee Miss O’Connell - The Irish connection!)
NAPLAN
Our first NAPLAN tests have gone very smoothly. Thanks to the teachers, students and parents who helped the children know about the tests and prepare the technology.
NAPLAN continues next week with the Conventions of Language on Monday and Numeracy on Tuesday. Please continue to assist us with the calm testing times by ensuring your child arrives at school before the bell.
Yours faithfully,
