Harmony Day is celebrated nationally 21 March each year and is a day of cultural respect. This year Griffith celebrated Harmony Week from 17 – 21 March. At Griffith everyone belongs. We had a small market, some live shows and interesting games on campus.
We hope everyone can enjoy themselves. At the Gold Coast you could enjoy the lovely weather, free food from GCAP and temporary tattoos, etc. At the Nathan campus students and staff participated in GUMURRII Harmony Handprints, the Washing Line of Words, completed a diversity quiz and were treated to orange cake and market stalls. Check out the photos below:
