Harmony In Cricket
"OUR CLUB IS A PLACE WHERE EVERYBODY, REGARDLESS OF
THEIR CULTURAL BACKGROUND, GENDER, AGE OR ABILITY FEELS
WELCOME. IF A PERSON HAS A PASSION FOR CRICKET, OUR CLUB HAS
A PLACE FOR THEM."
The Harmony message is about celebrating our commitment to embracing traditional Australian values - justice, equality, fairness and mateship.
The Harmony concept is a national initiative and represents the bonds that hold us, as Australians, together.
It starts with you, upholding your culture and traditional heritage while embracing respect for and appreciation of others. This includes taking a stand against racism, prejudice and intolerance.
