We also celebrated local schools committed to diversity:Aitkenvale State School, Townsville High School and Townsville Grammar School
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the day so special — especially Janelle Poole MP, Councillor Liam Mooney for Division 9, our organisers, partners, performers, supporters, and the Queensland Government for backing this beautiful event.
This celebration was more than an event—it was a powerful reminder of the strength in our diversity and the joy of an inclusive, united community.
