Harmony Week is a time for us to celebrate and show our respect for each others cultures and stories. The theme of Harmony Day for 2022 is Everyone Belongs. We all come from different countries all over the world but we live together in Australia. What a wonderful, diverse community we have at Wairoa School!

We are lucky to have people from all over the world at Wairoa School. We celebrate lots of different cultures and celebrations. Which country do you and your family come from? Let's say Hello to each other in our own languages.

Wairoa School would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land. We all travel to the land of the saltwater people, the Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. Coming from many places to meet and connect on our individual journey of learning, we celebrate the opportunities to swim, to garden, to cook, and to make music and art. Our school is respectful of the trees, sand, ocean, and sky.&nbsp; We enjoy sharing this land with the fish, birds, and other creatures of Bondi Beach. Everyday we welcome and pay our respects to the elders past, present, and future and extend our respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Our promise is to care for the land so that it may continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
