A Cultural Infusion Concert marked Quarters Primary School’s annual celebration of Harmony Week on Friday 22 March, with students from different communities sharing their cultural songs, dances, and national dresses.

The assembly in the Cranbourne West school was opened by students with a Welcome to Country and AUSLAN teachers helping the school communities to sing and sign the national anthem as they have been learning in classes.

Students were invited to wear their traditional cultural clothing or a touch of orange.

They presented cultural performances that they had worked hard over the past few weeks to get ready for.

A spokesperson for the school said they had dances from New Zealand, Australia, and India, songs from Sri Lanka, and folktales from Fiji and India were narrated along with Māori Haka performed by students from Cranbourne West Secondary College.

“It was a lovely afternoon, and our performers were excellent,” they said.

“It is a concert that recognises and highlights the beauty of our cultural diversity and inclusiveness at our school.”
