Kew Primary School will be celebrating Harmony Day on Thursday 30th March for our ‘Community CARE morning’. Students may come dressed in clothes representative of their cultural background or in Orange.
Orange is the colour chosen to represent Harmony Day. Traditionally, orange signifies social communication and meaningful conversations. It also relates to the freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect.

A Crepe van will be available for students from 9.30am- 3pm. This is an optional purchase, students are to bring cash on the day. Please see this flyer for more details and cost. I suggest looking at the menu with your child in advance. The company we are using is Crepes for Change. Part of their mission statement is: “We invest 100% of our profits back into our impact programs that work to eliminate youth homelessness.”
We look forward to celebrating French language and culture at our school on Friday 24th of March.
