Harmony Week is an annual celebration of Australia’s cultural diversity and the benefits it brings to the entire Australian community. In 2024, Harmony Week runs from Monday 18 March to Sunday 24 March.

Schools play a vital role in promoting ideas of harmony, togetherness, and belonging during this important time. Many schools also take this opportunity to organise events that celebrate multiculturalism within their communities.

One way of being involved in Harmony Week is to encourage student participation in the annual Harmony Day Competition. In 2024, the competition categories are Poster, Songwriting and Short Film (new category). The theme for the 2024 competition is: ‘Harmony – what can we do?’

Entries close on 12 April 2024.

More details on the competition are available here.
