This week the students explored the true meaning of Harmony Day. The following is from a script prepared by our Social Justice Team to explore the true meaning of Harmony Day.

Audrey: So what is Harmony Day? The word harmony can be defined in many different ways. We each experience and express harmony in different ways. Harmony Day around the country is a celebration of the cultural diversity across the country and in this school.

Danielle: There are so many different aspects of Harmony Day that could be placed into this week (originally a day). Things like cultural diversity, gender equality and how we identify are all parts of our lives, and are what we celebrate and recognise on Harmony Day.

Wilsin: We are each different and individual and we celebrate the peace and harmony we have created through these cultures. 

Amadeus: As mentioned in our Lent Calendar, we must respect and love and help each other, not just in our community but everywhere. We must be the Good Samaritans in our story, to the benefit of others and to build character and strengthen our souls and hearts. Harmony is a crucial part of our lives which we should embrace no matter how difficult it can be in order to bring about peace and justice. 

Year 8 Care for Creation Excursion

Every year since 2017, we have worked with Melbourne Water and the Brimbank Council to revegetate a section of Kororoit Creek. The creek is our local waterway, beginning in Gisborne and flowing into Port Phillip Bay through Altona. The creek has a wide variety of bird, animal and plant life that are supported greatly by all of the work done by CRC students. The work at Kororoit Creek is an example of the good we can do as people of faith in creation. The Year 8s will help spread mulch along the creek line. This helps to hold water in the soil, feeds the microbes, supports plant growth and suppresses weeds. It also prepares the ground for the next round of tree planting in June.
