Under the theme, ‘Can we belong to more than one culture?’, students have been exploring different facets that contribute to cultural identities in Australia and abroad.

To celebrate their new-found appreciation and understanding, St Mel’s hosted a cultural expo on Wednesday, March 27.

The day showcased the arts and crafts created by students, each representing aspects of diverse cultures.

Amid the festivities, the students made a stand – a lemonade stand, that is.

The pop-up stall quenched thirst and raised funds for Caritas Australia, a charity working to eradicate poverty and injustice.

Overall, the expo was a sweet success, as captured by The News photographer Megan Fisher.
