GREATER Shepparton Secondary College held its highly anticipated Harmony Day concert on Friday, April 4, to finish off the school term, with the school’s immense cultural diversity in a vibrant display of colour, music, song and dance.

The day’s theme was Harmony – we all have a role to play.

The concert came with extensive preparation as students have devoted break times and after-school gatherings during Term 1 to choreograph performances and organise costumes to ensure their culture is proudly displayed.

“The students have great support from their teachers and our Koorie Education workforce and Multicultural Liaison Officers – it’s a real team effort,” Executive Principal Barbara O’Brien said.

“Our students are the real stars of the show, with the college’s multicultural leaders acting as the hosts.”
