At Chisholm Catholic College, we are very proud of our multicultural school and heritage. We will celebrate Harmony Day next week, on Thursday 21 March.

DRESS

• Students are permitted to wear Casual dress, but staff and students are encouraged to wear their cultural dress or dress in orange, the National Harmony Day colour.
• Casual dress needs to be appropriate (refer to Page 27 in Student Handbook) – modest tops (no midriffs); modest length of dresses/skirts/shorts. Students who are not wearing appropriate dress for school will be directed to their Head of Year.
• Enclosed Footwear must be worn – thongs are not permitted. Students should be mindful of PE lessons on the day, where they should wear something appropriate for PE.
• $2.00 will be collected from each student for wearing casual dress. Students can provide payment in PCG from Monday 18 March.

PROJECT COMPASSION

• Thank you to all students who have been generously donating to Project Compassion during the Lenten period. Please continue to donate this term in PCG.
• Our Social Justice Committee has been visiting PCGs selling orange ribbons, which students can wear for a coin donation in support of Harmony Day.

ASSEMBLY

• Our Harmony Day Assembly will be held in Period 1 on Thursday 21 March. It will commence with the Procession of National Flags representing our multicultural community at Chisholm and will conclude with the presentation of our ACC Swimming Team.
• Students in cultural dress will be part of the Flags Procession.
• There will be no Period 5 lesson on this day.

If you have any questions regarding Harmony Day, please contact your child’s PCA.
