Discover how Katong Convent's Book and Music Week 2019 celebrated women's stories through themes of reclamation, appreciation, and aspiration.
Wednesday to Friday, 17 - 19 July 2019
Book and Music Week (BMW) is Katong Convent’s signature arts programme. Initiated more than 40 years ago, it is an annual tradition celebrated, loved, and fondly remembered by each cohort of girls who passes through the gates of Katong Convent. As a festival that forges the identity of each KC girl and bonds students within classes, across levels, and together as one community, every BMW encourages us KC girls to step out of our comfort zone, step up to its challenges and onto the proscenium stage.
This year, we looked at the stories of women over time through the themes of
Reclamation - recovering the untold stories of women’s impact in history
Appreciation - paying tribute to the women who have enabled us to be where we are today as a nation, as a school; and honouring the wonder women in our individual everyday lives – mothers, grandmothers, sisters, godmothers, aunties, or female caregivers who have impacted us
Aspiration – imagining the possibilities for women in the future and aspiring to what we are capable for ourselves
