Let’s Celebrate ‘Unity in Diversity’.

We are having this event to promote, nurture and celebrate cultural identities.
What better way to embrace and celebrate our Multicultural society, than to share our stories, customs and traditions. So let’s come together to promote cultural acceptance and teach our children Global Citizenship!

Cultural diversity will not only help our children recognise and respect everyone around them, but will also teach them to value, and understand humans from across the global cultural spectrum.

Come along to our AHE Cultural Day and share what’s special for you and your family.

Some items you can bring along to share and talk about:
Books, stories, artefacts, religious items, music, songs, musical instruments, games or any thing else.

You could also come dressed up in traditional/cultural costumes/clothes.
Let’s make this a fun, happy and interactive day for everyone. 

This event is not just about what is special to your culture, but it can also be something special in your family – e.g. like a family tradition, custom or event. 

We look forward to seeing you there!!

Things you can do:

  • Make a poster/project board
  • Bring along/Play traditional games
  • Traditional Songs
  • Traditional Dancing 
  • Dress up
  • Book/s, Art, Artefacts 
  • Photos, videos, slideshows 
  • Food to share or anything else that you can think of that might be of interest…..
