Harmony Week

Cannon_Emma.jpgThomas More College is home to over 60 different cultural backgrounds, we speak over 63 different languages and practice 24 different religions, so it’s no wonder Harmony Week is such a special celebration here! This year students had the opportunity to join events and experience culture over the week. 

An Amazing Race had students “travelling” across 5 different countries and competing in traditional cultural games or activities. We had students from years 7-12 participate. Congrats to our winning team on the day! Staff also shared their own culture through a shared staff morning tea, with food that lasted us over two days! 

Thanks to Mr Mazzarelli for seranding us with songs sung in Italian, while we were serving Vietnamese street food. An odd mix on the day, but we were able to celebrate the cultures of both our languages studied at TMC.

Friday was the main event, with three Stage 1 RE classes selling cultural food in our courtyard celebration. We had David Booth return to cook damper and students had the opportunity to receive Aboriginal body paint. We also had Adi’s Henna Art producing some beautiful henna tattoos on staff and students as well as Sun of Africa Sun and Dance Ensemble with an amazing performance at lunch as well as a drumming masterclass with Mr Simmonds Year 8 Music class. 

A busy, but wonderful week celebrating diversity and belonging here at TMC. Special thanks to Ms Taylor, Mr Hewson, Mr Ligouro and Mr Mazzarelli, as well as the Maintenance and Front Office teams for all your support!
