At St Bernadette’s Primary School in Lalor Park over 60% of our students speak English as their second language with many families having migrated to our beautiful country that we call home. This year we hosted our third Harmony Day and for the first time Western Sydney Wanderers have come on board. It began as a very small event with a few parents bringing in food that is native to their culture to share with students and fellow families and has grown into a full day of celebration. For 2016, students all wore orange or traditional dress for a gold coin donation as we held a liturgy, a cultural dance WE ARE ONE, BUT workshop and a huge fiesta lunch that WE ARE MANY included our annual piñata.
