Listen Later

Harmony Week is a special time in Australia to celebrate diversity, inclusivity, and connection in our communities. In this episode, we explore some meaningful and engaging ways to bring Harmony Week to life in the classroom and across the whole school.

From math activities that encourage data collection to school-wide displays and read-alouds, this episode is packed with practical ideas that will help students develop a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity and embrace the values of inclusivity.

In this episode we share 5 whole school initiatives you can put into action this Harmony Week:

  • How to collect and present school-wide data on students' backgrounds, languages, and favourite foods
  • Ideas for a Harmony Week whole school displays using hands or our Harmony heart freebie
  • How to set up a whole-school read-aloud event with books by Australian authors
  • A Harmony Day project where students interview family or community members about their cultural heritage
  • Simple ways to engage parents and the school community in Harmony Week celebrations

Join us as we share easy-to-implement strategies that make Harmony Week an impactful and meaningful experience for every student.

Rainbows ahead, 

Alisha and Ashleigh
