Carey celebrates literature badge, circa 2011

Description

Historical information

This round button badge was likely issued in 2011 as part of the inaugural Carey Celebrates Literature Festival. The design features the word "CAREY" stylised to resemble the spines of books standing upright, with light rays or page edges emerging from the top of each "book," emphasising the theme of reading and knowledge.

Below the word "CAREY," the slogan "Celebrates Literature" appears in a clean, black font, reinforcing the literary theme of the badge.

On the last letter "Y," the school's emblem is incorporated, maintaining institutional identity within the design. The background of the badge is a soft gradient of blue, giving a calm and scholarly impression.

Statement of significanceThe Carey Celebrates Literature Festival began in 2011. It was established to promote the value of reading, celebrate literature and foster a culture of storytelling within the school community. Held annually in May, the festival features a diverse lineup of local, interstate, and international writers, illustrators, and storytellers who engage students across the Junior, Middle, and Senior Schools through workshops, performances and discussions.

Over the years, the festival has become a significant event in the school's calendar, highlighting the importance of literature and literacy in education. It provides students with opportunities to interact with authors and creators, enhancing their appreciation for the written word and storytelling.Date of creationBetween 1st January 2011 and 31st December 2011Year2011CreatorCarey Baptist Grammar SchoolTypeBadgePhysical descriptionRound metal badge (6 cm diametre)Object measurements6cm in diametreInscriptions and markingsCarey celebrates literatureKeywordsBadges
