The shows had a strong cultural influence and focused on unity and respect.
Harmony Week concluded with its biggest event, a picnic on the school oval where pupils were invited to bring food from their own culture to share with their classmates and their families.
Principal Carolyn Lucarelli said Harmony Week was one of the school’s most popular events.
“Each year we look forward to celebrating Harmony Week, it’s one of the highlights of the year,” she said.
“We celebrate culture and diversity by providing opportunities for our families to give back by participating and sharing in the various cultures we have.
“I’d like to think it reflects our motto, Together Inspire Respect.”
