On Thursday March 21, Hilltop Road Public School celebrated Harmony Day with a range of events for our whole school community.
We kicked off in the morning with whole school Zumba in the hall. Mrs Sleiman, our resident Zumba instructor, ran the session with back-up from some of our year 3 students, and energised everyone with her enthusiastic dancing. It was great to see all of our students and staff dancing together in the spirit of harmomy.
Later in the day, we unveiled our updated 'Humans of Hilltop' wall. Originally completed as a PBL project, the wall by our office shines a spotlight on memebers of our school communty. From students and staff to parents and friends from our wider school community, the 'Humans of Hilltop' wall helps to celebrate the diversity of our school community which makes us so special.
In recognition of our diversity and the fact that "every face has a place" at Hilltop Road, we also completed a mini PBL project on uniqueness this term. The culminating task of that project, a self-portrait through which students represent their unique identity, has been displayed in our classrooms. As part of our Harmomy Day celebrations, students visited each other's classrooms to admire their peers' artworks and appreciate the uniqueness each one of us brings to Hilltop Road. The array of creative artworks and moving annotations displayed across the school was truly impressive.
Our first K-6 Assembly was also held on Harmony Day, hosted by 1/2G and 3Z. This gave us another opportunity to come together and celebrate our achievements, awarding citizenship awards and enjoying the entertaining performance by our host classes.
Following the assembly we had a community picnic lunch and our Harmony Day Basketball Tournament, which was so exciting it has its own news article! Click back to home to read more.
Everyone in attendance agreed that you could feel the sense of harmony at HIlltop Road Public School. Thank you to all memebrs of our community for making our school such a harmonious place every day of the year, and particularly to Ms Catherine and the team who helped us all to celebrate that harmony on Harmony Day!
