Harmony Week Teaching Resources
Did you know that more than one in four Australians were born overseas? Through real conversations about identity and respect, these resources help you and your students explore diversity and what it truly means to call Australia home.
Harmony Week
A week about belonging, for everyone
It's less about difference and more about connection – the simple, powerful idea that everyone belongs, no matter where they or their family began. Harmony Week is a chance to find the common ground that brings a diverse community together.
Everyone belongs in this classroom
What it brings to your school community
When your school celebrates Harmony Week, students get to see their own culture, and each other's, reflected and valued. It builds a classroom where curiosity about difference feels normal, and where every student feels like they belong.
