The City of Armadale’s Champion Centre hosted an event held at Groveland’s Primary School oval during Harmony week for children attending the Mundarda and Coolabaroo Child Care Centres, Save the Children Playgroup and Groveland’s Primary School.
Harmony Day is an annual celebration of Australia’s diversity and coincides with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination; this year’s theme for Harmony Day was Everyone Belongs.
Mayor Henry Zelones said the children participated in cultural activities which included a traditional didgeridoo performance.
“The children divided into groups to participate in arts and craft activities, a visit from Ranger Red and his native animals and enjoyed lots of fun with the bouncy castle.
“The Harmony Day celebrations provided an excellent opportunity for the children to experience a slice of cultural diversity and celebrate the culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait people,” said Mayor Zelones.
The Champion Centre provides a range of culturally-based programs and activities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the City of Armadale. All programs are free, with the programs relating to the early years and school aged children funded by the Australian Government’s Indigenous Advancement Strategy.
