Students go to Harmony Day event

Pretty Beach Public School captains Nathan Richardson and Katie Stewart attended a Harmony Day Regional Workshop in Newcastle, along with other captains, on March 21.

Harmony Day, which began in 1999, is a nationwide event focusing on Australia's multicultural society and on cultural and social tolerance and understanding.

"Our captains researched and recorded our students' diverse heritage in poster form and presented this at the workshop," principal Ms Vicki Redrup said.

Ms Redrup said the school also participated by making friendship chains, reading poetry and playing cricket at lunch.

"At school, our vice-captains Cian Donnellan and Naomi Jones spoke about the meaning of harmony," Ms Redrup said.
