HARMONY DAY
Australia is a culturally diverse society and on
March 21st we celebrated Harmony Day to
embrace the many cultures in our country.
Harmony Day coincides with the International
Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a
day that focuses on saying no to racism and
embracing the many strengths each culture
brings with it. Australia is a country built on
immigration and, since 1945, has become
home to over six and a half million migrants.
