Harmony Day is about bringing people together to celebrate being Australian. It is a day to understand and commit to the benefits of living in a country that embraces the common values of respect, fairness, participation, acceptance and a fair go for all. It's about educating our children to counter ignorance with the facts of our success as a multicultural nation. To celebrate the day Caddies Creek students are encouraged to wear an orange accessory with their school uniform. Students could wear an orange armband, an orange hat or ribbon. How about orange socks! Please encourage your child to participate and help to make it a successful day.

For your child’s safety, we are asking that if your child already has a mouthguard they wear it every week for PSSA. If your child does not have a mouthguard, please purchase one as soon as possible. All AFL students will be required to have a mouthguard in order to play from Term 4 onwards. We thank you for your support on this matter and look forward to a fun, thrilling and safe season ahead.
