Harmony Week, from March 18 to 24, is an annual celebration that recognises diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds.
On Thursday, March 22, Thornhill Park Primary School celebrated the occasion with a special dress-up day.
Students were encouraged to wear clothing specific to their cultural background, or, wear orange to show support for the day.
Thornhill Park Primary School teacher Sally Shoebridge said Harmony Day is about inclusiveness and respect and creates a sense of belonging for everyone.
“It is important at Thornhill Park Primary school that we celebrate diversity and culture throughout our school and the wider school community,” she said.
“The students looked really wonderful in their bright and beautiful national dress, and were happy to celebrate their backgrounds with each other. They participated in fun activities in the classroom and researched and performed cultural dance to their friends in music.
“Traditionally orange is the colour chosen to represent Harmony Week, that signifies social communication and meaningful conversations.
“It was a successful day celebrating diversity with the school community.”
