Student Reflections

Our first Mythology Club session was a big success, with a great turnout and plenty of enthusiasm. It was incredible to see so many people interested in mythology, and even better to hear everyone enjoyed the spanakopita! Gabrielle and I as Co-Presidents are excited to keep the momentum going and further learn about ancient myths and stories.

Today we held our first session of the Mythology Club and it was amazing to see how many people in the Santa Sabina community came together to learn from and support our student initiative. We brought in homemade spanakopita (a Greek spinach pie) and other foods to replicate the atmosphere of Ancient Greek culture as Greek mythology was our first meeting focus. Overall it was a great experience which could not have been done without the support of Ms Shoard, Ms Zagora and our fellow students.

The first Mythology meeting created a positive atmosphere where friends could collaborate and learn based on our interests. This sharing of cultures saw Gabrielle and Poppy ensuring that each meeting will be tailored to all members in the future. We also indulged in homemade spanakopita and Tim Tams while completing a Kohoot.
