GEELONG: PAKO FESTA

I wish to congratulate Diversitat for yet another fantastic Pako festival, which
was held on 27 February in Geelong and opened by the Premier, John Brumby. The
parade winners were Clonard College for the best school entrant. St Patrick’s
Primary School won the best use of the theme, and the award for most culturally
aware was won by the Filipino community group from Geelong and the Indonesian
community group from Melbourne. The best cultural stall prize went to the
Geelong Dutch community.
