Canberra Grammar School’s Harmony Week celebrations embraced the diverse cultural and religious backgrounds within the CGS Community.
Students across the Primary and Senior Schools were encouraged to wear cultural clothing, the colours of their flag or add a splash of orange to their uniform. During the week, cultural performances and a bake sale were held in the Quad during lunchtime in the Senior School, where students also contributed to the 2026 Harmony Day handprint banner alongside CGS Arts Captain, Sophia, which was hung above the Main Quad for the week.
In the Primary School Assembly, the book 'Happiness Around the World' by Kate Baker was discussed, celebrating how happiness is experienced by people around the globe. At our Northside campus, special speakers from our community visited to share stories and insights into their cultures with students.

On Tuesday 31 March, CGS Year 12 students will take part in a long-standing, student-led initiative, shaving or cutting their hair as a symbol of solidarity with individuals and families impacted by cancer. This meaningful tradition reflects the compassion and leadership of our students, as they come together to support the hope that exists in the fight against cancer.
All proceeds will go towards the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation, which supports Australia's leading paediatric health services, offering world-class, safe, and friendly environments for children.
