ISS Celebrating Chinese New Year

2020 Year of the Rat

​The Rat is the first of all zodiac animals. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. The Rat tricked the Ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived at the finish line, Rat jumped down and landed ahead of Ox, becoming first.
The Rat is also associated with the Earthly Branch (地支—dì zhī) Zi (子) and the midnight hours. In the terms of yin and yang (阴阳—yīn yáng), the Rat is yang and represents the beginning of a new day.
In Chinese culture, rats were seen as a sign of wealth and surplus. Because of their reproduction rate, married couples also prayed to them for children.

The ISS Library Welcome you .

Today, Tuesday 10th of September, we were visited by Ms Shazia Uzman, local author of the popular children’s book “Kaluti.” She read to us parts of her book which is about overcoming bullying, self love and discovering what makes a person ‘enough’ in this world. The beautiful cover of the book was designed by our very own talented student, Sara Du of Year 11.

This week, we celebrate Harmony week & Library Information Week across Oceania. To celebrate books, libraries and reading, ISS Library signed up for the ALIA National Simultaneous storytime where one million children will read simultaneously on 22 May, 2019 at 11 am by sharing Alpacas with Maracas written and illustrated by Matt Cosgrove. We held part of our reading a day before with ECH2W and had so much fun dancing to the alpacas music and creating our alpaca mask. By facilitating NSS we aim to:
  • promote and inspire a lifelong love of books and reading
  • promote lifelong use of the library as a safe and fun place
  • promote the value of reading and literacy,
  • promote the value and fun of books,
  • promote an Australian writer and publisher,
