Library and Information Week, held at the College from 25-29 July, celebrated the importance of libraries in society. Libraries provide opportunities for communities to grow and connect on local, national and global scales.
This year's Library and Information Week theme was 'rewrite, renew, reimagine'. The theme encourages Australians to reconnect with their libraries, rewriting, renewing and reimagining their knowledge, perspectives and stories. The College celebrated Library and Information Week with a range of exciting activities for students, families and staff.
The Monday night creative writing session with author Kirsty Murray (pictured above, second from left) encouraged students and their families to connect with and reimagine their personal stories. It provided families with the opportunity to explore creative writing with discussion and a mini workshop activity. You can read more about Ms Murray’s visit in the Star Newspaper article HERE.
Tuesday’s creative journaling workshop with expert Tamsien West offered students a chance to rewrite and translate their thoughts and experiences onto the page through exploring their creativity with artistic journaling. The creativity flowed through to Wednesday with a book craft session where students could make something simple or complicated by renewing, reimagining and repurposing books.
The week culminated with a Percy Jackson library quiz. Students came together to see who had the most knowledge about Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Well done to all the teams who participated.
