Harmony day is celebrated on 21 of March each year. It celebrates the cohesive and inclusive nature of our nation and promotes the benefits of culture diversity.
On Wednesday we started with Marion to sing a couple of Australian songs in class like: the Australian Anthem, I am Australian and I still call Australia home. At 10:00 we went to building A to celebrate Harmony Day with all the other students. The classroom was full with students from different countries and different cultures. We were all sitting to celebrate together.
The teachers prepared a lot of things to do. Firstly a couple of student spoke about their experiences, and about their teachers who help them a lot. Then a Chinese man wanted to speak about his experience. He is a student in level 1 so his English wasn't that good and suddenly he started to speak in Chinese and we didn't understand anything except the Chinese people did of course. Then some of the students sang in their own language for example Russian and Chinese. Then all of us together sang 3 Australian songs.
Finally we had some food to eat that we had prepared at home. Our class came back to our room and share some food that we prepared. It was a good day to be celebrating together.
