This week we are celebrating harmony week.

In the Nest we are creating a wall for handprints created by children and educators who belong here at Sonas Atwell. 

Each child got to choose what colour they would like to paint their hands and place their handprint on the piece of paper. 

Each handprint represents where the children belong, one of our main focuses here at Sonas Atwell is that everyone has a sense of belonging for their own individuality. 

The hands that have been painted by choice by the children will be displayed in the Nest on the curriculum board.

Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for everyone.

It is about celebrating the benefits of our multicultural society that has come about as the result of the successful integration of migrants into the Australian community.

Let’s come together with friends and family and through schools, workplaces, and our wider communities to celebrate our diversity.

Be proud of our strong and successful multicultural society. Sharing our cultural heritage is part of celebrating what it means to be Australian.

Our shared Australian values of respect, equality and freedom go beyond our different cultures, and are what makes Australia such a great place to live.

The message of respect and belonging goes beyond the week-long celebration. It can be lived by each of us, every day.
