Harmony Day Celebrations

I don't normally post non-art lesson stuff, but I thought some of you may appreciate some of the photos I took last month during my school's Harmony Day celebrations. Students and staff were asked to abandon our normal strict uniform and dress in traditional cultural dress of another country. Australia is so multicultural and the school I work for is almost entirely made up of migrant families. Here are some snaps of some of the fascinating things kids wore to school  on this day. Oh, and my family are actually Scottish but alas I don't own a kilt so that's me in the Frida Kahlo costume I put together at the last minute - not that anyone knew who I was supposed to be!?!
