GREATER Shepparton Secondary College students entertained some excited youngsters from Sacred Heart Tatura last Thursday, June 20. Hosted by Greater Shepparton City Council multicultural development officer, Mariola Nebiu.

There was music and dancing to display the wonderful diversity of the region, with Afghani and African dancing, three student’s sang songs inspired by their African homeland, and the Pacific Islanders stole the show with the Haka.
