Harmony Week – Monday 16 to Sunday 22 March 2026
AT Greater Shepparton Secondary College (GSSC), belonging is more than a theme, it is a commitment.
On Harmony Day 2026, students and staff will unite under the theme “Everyone Belongs,” celebrating the many cultures that shape the college and the connections that bring the community together.
In the lead-up to the end-of-term event, students have been rehearsing dance routines, practising musical performances and preparing traditional dress that reflects their heritage. The concert will feature a vibrant showcase of music, movement and storytelling, with students proudly stepping onto the stage to share their identity and culture.
Executive Principal Barbara O’Brien said Harmony Day will highlight the heart of the school.
“When our students step onto that stage, they will be sharing their identity, their story and their pride,” she said.
“Seeing our students celebrate their culture is incredibly powerful. It reminds us that GSSC is a place where everyone belongs.”
Year 11 student Alicia Kazayi said Harmony Day is the most exciting event the school community looks forward to each year.
“This will be my third time experiencing this moment, and I have seen that it brings confidence in each person to represent who and where they are from,” she said.
Supported by the college’s Koorie Education team, Multicultural Liaison Officers and student Multicultural Leaders, Harmony Day will reflect the college’s strong commitment to inclusion and connection across its diverse community.
