Harmony Week

Harmony Week each year is an opportunity for all Western Australians to celebrate our vibrant multicultural State. With one of our school values being Diversity, this week was an important one for our school, and we wanted to make sure that our differences were recognised as our greatest strength.

There were a range of activities planned by the Cultural Inclusivity Committee, with the support of many other staff and students, including the newly formed student Culture Club. As you can see from the pictures, the students and staff had a lovely time celebrating the cultural diversity at Bunbury SHS.  We kicked off celebrations with our Market Day, followed by sushi-style rice and French crepes at Breakfast Club, a Flag Quiz, heaps of craft activities such as origami, calligraphy and making Chinese lanterns, face painting, rock painting, music, international movies plus guest speakers, such as Qing Ip from the City of Bunbury.  We also had a bunch of more active events, such as the sumo wrestling, football tennis and pétanque (French bowls). It was a week filled with fun and community, which culminated in a food van fiesta on the oval, with students having a go at diablo while also getting to taste samosas and churros.
