Book Week 2022
This week the College celebrated Book Week with the theme of Dreaming with Eyes Open. Jarnosse staff developed reading programs, displays on Mythology and Folklore, Songlines, and Astronomy, as well as a scavenger hunt through the Dewey Decimal System.
Girls were encouraged to delve deep into local Dreamtime stories, such as the North Head Pelican and the Jargan (crocodile) in the Lane Cover River. They explored the social nature of fairytales, such as how the Grimms’ version of Rumpelstiltskin devalued the place of women and women’s work (spinning) within the story, reflecting the Brothers’ own social ideals. They were treated to images captured by the new James Webb Telescope, and the interplay between Baiame (ancestor) and Orion, both outlining the same stars.
By the end of the week, Jarnosse had given out 50 bookmarks to super-sleuths who had expertly found their way through the non-fiction section. Congratulations girls!
Thank you to all Jarnosse staff for their organisation and preparation for the week.
