Luke West - Joint winner

Luke West (aged 11) from Orange Grove Public School, Leichhardt — Rap Song

Diversity Makes The Difference

I’d like to say some words
On why ’Stralia’s really cool
’Coz ev’ryone is different
In the city, park or school

There’s people with strange skills
And abilities unlike yours
And cultures and traditions,
Religion, talk and laws

Chorus

I’m not like him
And she’s not like me
Which is really awesome
It’s a cool way to be (clap)
If things were the same
It’d be really boring
But ’coz it’s not
Diversity is soaring! (clap)

She is from China
And he is from France
We all have our diff’rent ways
Of music, sport and dance

We’ve had diff’rent experiences
So we believe diff’rent things
With religion and mythology
We should be respecting

Chorus

So what I’m try’na say here is;
We’re not all the same
And ‘coz we’re all together
We have a lot to gain

We learn about new cultures
How others do things, say like
Christmas

What I’m try’na say here is;
Diversity makes the difference!!!

Luke also entered a video of himself and his classmates performing his rap.
Unfortunately we are not able to make this available on our website.
