Lalor East Primary School was awash with orange last Tuesday.
Pupils were asked to go to school dressed in the colour which symbolises Harmony Day, an annual event that celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity and promotes inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging.
Grade 1 teacher Brad Jones said more than 80 different nationalities were represented at the Thomastown school.
Despite chilly weather, the pupils took to the oval to spell out ‘Harmony’ and released hundreds of orange balloons.
A photographer climbed on to the roof to capture an aerial shot before the kids went back to the classroom to talk about what harmony means to them.
