Harmony Week

Harmony Week 2025 was a vibrant celebration of culture and unity, bringing the College community together through a range of engaging activities. Throughout the week, students had the opportunity to reflect on the richness of our diverse backgrounds while participating in initiatives that fostered understanding and appreciation.

Monday – Lollipops & Cultural Facts

The week began with a small but meaningful gesture—students received lollipops tied with orange ribbons, each accompanied by a cultural fact as they entered the school gates. This simple initiative sparked curiosity and conversation, with many students sharing newfound knowledge about different countries.

Tuesday – Cultural Paper Links

Students contributed to a collective display of culture by writing their nationality or drawing symbols representing their heritage on orange and yellow paper links in the art rooms. These were later joined together and displayed symbolizing the interwoven identities that shape our school community.

Wednesday – Cultural Booklet

Wednesday lunch at Merici was filled with a lively booklet quiz that tested students’ knowledge of the cultural facts shared on Monday, along with a challenge to identify national flags. The competitive yet light-hearted atmosphere encouraged both learning and teamwork, rewarding the girls with chocolate prizes!

Thursday – Cultural Food Sharing

Students brought food from their cultural backgrounds to share within their friendship groups. The initiative allowed students to experience a small taste of different traditions while ensuring inclusivity.

Friday – Cultural Performances & Music

The week concluded with a vibrant performance at Merici, where students proudly showcased their cultures through music and dance. Traditional performances created a joyful atmosphere, celebrating the rich diversity of our community. To end on a high note, everyone came together for the Nutbush dance, uniting students in a moment of shared energy and enthusiasm – a perfect way to close Harmony Week.

Harmony Week 2025 provided a meaningful opportunity for students to engage with the diversity within our College, fostering a deeper sense of connection and respect. Through these initiatives, we were reminded that unity is strengthened through understanding, and that celebrating diversity is not just an event, but an ongoing commitment.
