Red Cross Harmony Day Awards WOW - what a fantastic response we had to the Red Cross Harmony Day Awards! It was inspiring for us to see the exciting and innovative ways teams have taken up a Y Challenge to celebrate cultural diversity and promote the message that everyone belongs. The judges found their task a huge challenge and wished they were not limited to choosing just three winners. In fact they had to declare joint winners in one category!

It is with great pleasure that we announce that the 2010 Red Cross Harmony Day Award winners are:

Everyone Belongs: the project that best captured the spirit of Harmony Day Joint winners: Sevenoaks Senior College (WA) and Gray Primary School (NT)

Our Community: the project that went all out to include members of the community: Kedron State High School and Community Connections (QLD)
