Cultural Events

Mount Waverley Heights Primary School prides itself on the many Cultural Events the students and staff participate in throughout the year.  These events provide our students with the opportunity to learn about different cultures and events that are celebrated around the world.

Celebrating Multicultralism enforces the values of fairness and inclusion.  It helps us to enhance respect and support for cultural, religious and linguistic diversity as well as acknowledging the benefits a society with such cultural diversity can bring.

At MWHPS we strive to celebrate our cultural diversity and build empathy and understanding for all.  During the year the students engage in a variety of cultural activities and encourage all our families to become involved in these events and share their customs and traditions with the students.

Some of these celebrations include:
