Kathleen MATTHEWS-WARD (Broadmeadows) (10:09): I congratulate Glenroy secondary college on their innovative Harmony Day program running right through the month of March. It kicked off with students celebrating the Christian tradition of Shrove Tuesday, continues with an iftar dinner and includes cultural dress day, Bollywood dancing and henna. We are so fortunate to be one of the most successful multicultural and multifaith societies in the world, and what we have here is precious. Sharing and celebrating our traditions helps understanding, promotes inclusion and gives people a sense of value and belonging.
