The School celebrates Harmony Day and welcomes new staff

Yesterday we hosted an event to observe Harmony Day and to welcome our new staff.

Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, celebrating Australia’s cultural diversity.

Staff members, along with PhD and Honours students, gathered in the Staff Room to celebrate over afternoon tea. Head of School Bruce Henry welcomed our new School members who are joining us from many corners of the globe.

Attendees marked off their city of origin on a map of the world, resulting in a colourful visual demonstration of the multicultural nature of our School.

Welcome to all of our new staff and students!
