Race Relations Day 2010

Northcote College is celebrating Race Relations Day 2010 beginning with an assembly address by Mrs Julie Watson from the Human Rights Commission.

Race Relations Day is the time to reflect on our journey as a culturally diverse nation.

Each year 21 March is observed around the globe as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The date recalls the tragic loss of life at Sharpeville in South Africa in 1960, and is dedicated by the United Nations to the achievement of the goals of the Convention for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. New Zealand signed the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination on 25 October 1966 and ratified it on 22 November 1972.

The aim of race relations day is to remind all New Zealanders that we want to live in a country where relations between the diverse groups that make up New Zealand society are harmonious, based on equality, mutual respect, and a shared sense of belonging.
