Harmony Day 2024

Our diversity makes Australia a great place to live. Harmony Day is a celebration of our cultural diversity – a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home. Please note that we will be celebrating Harmony Day on Friday 15 March this year. We invite students to wear an orange t-shirt or orange accessories on this day along with their sports shorts.

Our students will take part in a very special “Buddy Session” in the afternoon on that day, celebrating our wonderful community’s diversity.

Please note that this is not a fundraising activity and therefore no gold coin donation is required. This day is aiming to foster inclusiveness, respect and the idea that people of all different cultures can make a valuable contribution to society.

Commemorative Recipe Book

To celebrate our School’s 40th Anniversary, the Carramar Primary Parent Representatives would like your assistance in producing a commemorative recipe book to celebrate it’s community, culture and family.

We would appreciate if every family could follow this link and provide a cherished recipe from their family. We encourage families with multiple children in the primary school to submit one recipe for each child.

This book will be available for ordering at the end of Term 3 and distribution will be in Term 4. All funds raised in this effort will go towards our “Evening on The Green”.

Please could all recipes be provided by Monday 25 March.

Thank you
