Yesterday, our school community came together for a wonderful Harmony Week assembly, celebrating the many cultures and backgrounds that make Dianella such a vibrant and inclusive place. It was a meaningful opportunity to recognise the richness of our diversity and the strong sense of belonging shared across our school.
Looking out across the crowd, it was inspiring to see staff and students dressed in shades of orange, alongside clothing representing their countries of origin. This visual display reflected the pride our community takes in its cultural identity and highlighted the message that everyone belongs at Dianella.
The assembly was expertly hosted by our Student Councillors and School Captain, who led the proceedings with confidence and professionalism. We were also honoured to welcome special guests, including friends and family members, the Hon. Dr Anne Aly MP, and members of her office.
We were incredibly proud to showcase the talents of our students, with the choir and the Dianella Diamonds delivering outstanding music and dance performances. Harmony Awards were presented to two exceptional students, one from Lower School and one from Upper School, recognising their positive contribution to our school community. In addition, the Bushranger Leaders for 2026 were announced, marking an exciting milestone for student leadership.
A highlight of the morning was the presentation of a beautiful artwork, collaboratively created by staff and students. This piece was gifted to the school as a symbol of unity and respect, perfectly capturing the spirit of Harmony Week.
It was truly a special morning—one that celebrated our differences, strengthened our connections, and reminded us that at Dianella, everyone belongs.
Dianella Secondary College Education Support Centre proudly hosted the first Kalability North Carnival for 2026. It was a fantastic day of cricket, inclusion and community spirit, and we were delighted to welcome eight participating schools for this term’s carnival:
- Aveley Secondary College
- Balcatta Senior High School
- Belridge Secondary College ESC
- Cyril Jackson Senior Campus Education Support Centre
- Dianella Secondary College ESC
- Durham Road School
- Swan View Senior High School
- West Coast Secondary Education Support Centre
Students took part in a modified version of cricket known as Rapid Fire, designed to ensure the game is inclusive and accessible for all abilities. This format allowed every student to actively participate, build confidence and enjoy the experience, regardless of skill level.
The day was a wonderful celebration of sportsmanship, teamwork and connection across schools. It was inspiring to see students supporting one another, engaging with the game and embracing the spirit of inclusion that underpins Kalability events.
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the day. In particular, we acknowledge SEDA College WA, the City of Stirling, The Thirsty Mare coffee van for keeping staff and visitors refreshed, and the Rapid Relief Team AU volunteers for providing a delicious sausage sizzle.
We look forward to continuing this momentum next term for the Kalability North AFL Carnival.
