At a morning tea hosted on Friday, Premier Baird highlighted the outpouring of emotion and solidarity with victims.
“Whilst we saw in those hours the worst of humanity, I strongly believe that in what followed we saw the best of humanity,” he said.
Premier Baird also spoke on radicalism across Australia, saying states could be doing more in conjunction with the federal government.
“The answer is working alongside community groups - not imposing - and structuring programs that are consistent with them and their values and how they see that we can help this process and stop the process of radicalisation,” he said.
His comments followed an overnight police raid of the Sydney home of self-styled radical Islamist preacher, Junaid Thorne.
Thorne is due to appear in court on a single charge for flying from Perth to Sydney under a false name.
He has also publicly justified the terror attacks in Paris and claimed that one of his followers was Numan Haider, killed while stabbing police officers in Melbourne late last year.
Melbourne police also raided the family home of so-called jihadist Suhan Rahman.
The 23-year-old is believed to have been radicalised, and gone to Syria to fight.
Rahman has also posted comments backing the Charlie Hebdo attacks.
"They say were all Charlie,” he wrote.
“I say that means you all deserve to die.”
Rahman has also called on young Australians to spill blood, while posting photos of himself with extremist Mohamed Elomar.
