disagreements peacefully, following the rules of the classroom and making
positive contributions to school, home and the community including protecting the

Enrichment Day LMHS
10/4 Easter Hat Parade
Today we celebrated Harmony Day and Grandparents Day. Harmony Day is a
day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home – from the traditional
owners of this land to those who have come from many countries around the
world. By participating in Harmony Day activities, we can learn and understand
how all Australians from diverse backgrounds equally belong to this nation and
enrich it. We had a wonderful time celebrating with our grandparents and friends,
the children enjoyed making our Harmony Hand Tree, please come and see it in
our foyer. I’m sure the grandparents enjoyed our singing today and reminded
them of when they were young. Congratulations to all our students who showed
the true spirit of the day ‘that everyone belongs’. A big thankyou to all the staff for
your hard work today, a special thank you to Mrs Geres and Ms Arbolino for your
planning and Kerry from OOSH for helping with morning tea.
