In groups of 4, students from classes 7HA, 7HC and 7HH, presented and performed the mummification process in front of their peers. Each group had 1 narrator who explained the steps of mummification, 2 embalmers who performed the process and a body of a ‘deceased’ person. Each group needed to organise and bring: ‘internal organs’, Canopic jars, a hook, and scrolls from the Book of the Dead. All students illustrated a good understanding of the mummification process and were able to present an historically accurate representation of ancient Egyptian burial practices. Below, is an article written by 3 students about this activity. The mummification process is based on Greek historian, Herodotus’ account.
The Mummification Process -Written By Aarav, Shaasi & Jaden, 7HA
Three year 7 classes did a unique and exciting mummification task, where they mummified their peer’s body. All classes had fun doing the mummification process and put in lot of effort.
Our Grade TT under 15's have played consistently well throughout the first semester of winter sport. In the final round with North Sydney Boys , the boys worked hard against a very 'hard to defeat' team and won the game.
Congratulations!! Joseph Wang, Evan Xiong, Seokhee Lee, Lakshaya Kaushik, Michael Wang and Yoshua Tsang​.
