Today March 21, is Harmony Day; the twentieth anniversary of Harmony Day in fact. Harmony Day is the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background; united by a set of core Australian values.
This year’s theme is #standtogether and #everyonebelongs.
Our Jindalee State School Adopt-a-Cops from the Centenary North Police Beat attended the school today to speak to the students about Harmony day.
After speaking with students during lunch we all agreed that treating other people like we want them to treat us is a really good place to start.
We discussed respect for each other and how it is much more fun to include others in our day then exclude them.
We spoke about not being a bystander and if someone is being mean or bullying someone else we need to make sure we tell someone

Attempted armed robbery, Chermside
Police are investigating the attempted robbery of a convenience store at Chermside last night.
Just before 9pm, a man armed with a knife entered the Gympie Road business and threatened the male employee.

The man has attempted to open the till without success and has left the store empty handed.
He is described as having a medium build, olive complexion, approximately 180cm tall, wearing a white cloth covering his head, a black long sleeve shirt with aqua horizontal stripes, long dark trousers and black joggers.
No one was injured during the incident.
Investigators are appealing for anyone with further information and for two customers who were in the store shortly before the incident, to contact police.
