This week Strathfield Girls High School celebrated Harmony Day by embracing the
message that ‘Everyone Belongs’. Harmony Day is a day to celebrate and respect
Australian multiculturalism and encourage all to appreciate Australia’s rich
diversity. Orange ribbons were worn by both staff and students in recognition of
their support and acknowledgement of living in harmony with one another.
Student speakers spread the message of equality with true passion as they shared
facts and figures and inspired their peers to uphold the proud traditions of
inclusiveness, cultural respect, pride and harmony of Strathfield Girls High School.
Our cultural diversity remains one of our greatest strengths and our celebration
focused on maintaining peaceful and loving relationships and the need to strive for
harmonious communication in all fields including electronic media, particularly
mobile phones and social media.
Two groups of Year 9 Music students performed their original compositions of
Harmony Day songs which were excellent and very well received and supported by
their peers.
The Year 11 Visual Arts students treated the school to a demonstration of talent
and ingenuity as they brought together separate paintings, created on the spot, to
form the word ‘ACCEPTANCE’. Their creative talent brought gasps of surprise from
their delighted audience.
It was a successful day, focused on celebrating inclusiveness, respect and sense of
belonging for everyone. Well done again, Strathfield Girls! I am extremely proud of
all of you.

Tae Kwon Do Competition
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that is offered as a sport on Tuesday for all students to select. It is run by Suhhee Sirohi, who is an accomplished athlete and was a Taekwondo Olympic Judge in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
On Sunday, the 18 March, she offered an opportunity to 6 young girls who have been taking her classes regularly at school. The girls spanned from yellow belt to red belt and were offered the opportunity to compete at the 8th KTAA President’s Cup competition.
The tournament was held at Rockdale Sports Centre, on a 40 degree day. Sirohi, along with others who had coached Olympic Teams and the Australian National Team, was a judge. The 6 girls, Emily Johnston, Kaylah Apps and Thanvi Gunti of Year 12, Megan Lam and Jennifer Zhaojun of Year 11 and Marcella Capraro of Year 9 competed in the ‘Poomsae’ section of the cup, meaning ‘Patterns’. Each belt has a pattern of certain skills designed for that level of skill, there are 8+ Poomsae patterns.
The 6 girls showed their precision of skill with their corresponding pattern, earning four of them a Gold medal. These four girls include; Emily Johnston, Kaylah Apps, Jennifer Zhao and Marcella Capraro. Thanvi Gunti earned a Silver medal and Megan Lam a Bronze. Later, they joined their efforts as a team and competed as groups, focusing on synchronisation and attention to detail. Two groups, the duo, Emily and Marcella and the trio of Kaylah, Thanvi and Megan won Gold.
All together, 9 Gold Medals, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze were won on the day for the 6 girls, making their campaign extremely successful.
Congratulations to all the competitors and a big thank you to Suhhee for training them, spotting their talent and entering them in this prestigious competition.
