The Learning in Harmony Project was developed by the VoRTCS Refugee Tutoring Program as a way for the Department of Immigration and Citizenship and the broader community to celebrate the success of tutoring programs and homework support provided to refugee students in Brisbane during 2007. 

The theme of “Learning in Harmony” highlights the results that can be achieved when Australians from different cultural backgrounds work together towards educating our children.  The booklets celebrate the achievements of the young refugee students who participate in the VoRTCS Refugee Tutoring Program. 

The booklets will be published both in hard copy and on this website, and there will be 4 editions of the booklet over the next 12 months.  Each edition will have a different theme and will contain a collection of stories, quotes, songs, drawings and photos of our students to celebrate their achievements and our work together.  All work in these booklets is from the students involved in the Refugee Tutoring Program and is in their own words.

The theme for the first booklet is celebrating students working together in harmony.  This edition will be launched on 21 March in the Queen Street Mall during the official Harmony Day celebrations.
