Principal Mark Harris said that while the school celebrated their multiculturalism every school day, the school’s Community Festival Day was an extra special day when all students, parents and staff came together as one happy, harmonious family to celebrate their own and each other’s cultures.

“With many wearing clothes that reflected their backgrounds, the program included all 640 Kindergarten to Year 6 students performing cultural dances and the K-2 and Year 3 to Year 6 choirs singing a range of beautiful songs,” he said.

Hundreds of families and staff then enjoyed picnic lunches in the school’s picturesque playgrounds while they were entertained by Granville Boys High School’s fabulous bag pipes band.

Ahead of the day, a student said: “I’m excited about Community Festival Day because we will be able to share our traditions, what we do, how we dress and how we dance.

“I will also enjoy learning interesting facts about other cultures and seeing different cultures represented.”
A parent said: “The Community Festival Day is like a festival of Australia, which is my new home. I was so excited to see how so many cultures came together and made one cohesive community where everyone is kind and respectful of each other.”
