Last week at Franklin we participated in Harmony Day and
Clean Up Australia Day. Our fearless and courageous
reporters Jimmy McAlister and Reegan Oddy decided to
investigate these two important occasions on the school
calendar.
Jimmy:
Clean Up Australia Day was started 30 years ago by Ian Kiernan, who was a champion Australian sailor. Whilst he
was sailing he noticed lots of rubbish in the water. He decided we needed to clean up the land so
the rubbish did not get washed into our oceans.
This simple idea ignited an enthusiasm and desire among
the local community to get involved and make a difference.
Did you know that on Clean
Up Australia Day cigarette butts are the single most reported litter item across Australia, representing 20% of all recorded items.
The official day for Clean Up Australia was March 1st but our school clean-up day was Thursday 19 March. The 3-6 classes cleaned up Cedar Ave Park, which is adjacent to our school.
The K-2 classes cleaned up the school playground.
Reegan:
The official Harmony Day message is “Everyone Belongs”. Franklin celebrated Harmony Day on Friday 20th March. All students were invited to wear orange which the official colour for Harmony Day. The colour orange shows support for valuing everyone from different cultures.
In Year 6 we had a great time sharing the Harmony Day
message with our Kindergarten buddies. We visited different classrooms and shared activities together. My buddy is Annika from Banks and I interviewed her about Harmony Day.
