Harmony Week is the celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds.
It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.

Why orange?
Orange has been the Harmony Week colour since the first event was held in 1999.
Traditionally, orange signifies social communication and meaningful conversations.
By wearing orange, people show their support for all cultures that make up Australia. Harmony Day celebrates this diversity, aiming to foster inclusiveness, mutual respect and the idea that people of all different cultures can make a valuable contribution to society.
Thank you for your wonderful ongoing support as we work together to uphold our Catholic values and lead by example for our children to see and emulate.
