Parents and extended family are welcome to attend our College Assembly on Thursday 16 March at 11:30am where we will showcase many of our Culturally and Linguistically Diverse students with costume, song, and dance to celebrate Harmony Week.

Harmony Week is a time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, and the successful integration of migrants into our community. Australia is one of the most successful multicultural countries in the world and we should celebrate this and work to maintain it. Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values.

One of the goals of Harmony Week is to acknowledge our diverse national, ethnic and religious backgrounds to help build an inclusive society, and to acknowledge and celebrate the enduring principles of fairness, harmony and respect. This is certainly a priority here at Shalom College.

The theme for Harmony Week is 'Everyone Belongs'…may this always hold true for us here at Shalom College.
