School Day 2025 – Renaissance Fair

School Day 2025 – Renaissance Fair

This year, the School Day was celebrated in a special and creative with a Renaissance fair that transported both students and teachers back to an era of great discoveries, artistic brilliance, and scientific innovations.

The school hallway was transformed into a vibrant Renaissance marketplace, offering students the chance to engage in a variety of workshops inspired by the spirit of the time. The program included thematic activities such as Gothic writing, Renaissance makeup and grooming, and the creation of telescopes and parachutes. Students could also find ingredients from "Gubec's Cookbook" and take photos with various props. In the Gothic writing workshop, students experienced the art of manuscript creation as they practiced forming letters in Gothic script, developing their patience and precision in the process. History enthusiasts gathered in the Renaissance makeup workshop, where they discovered the beauty and cosmetic practices of the era. After the makeup session, they had the opportunity to try a rose scrub and balm, known as the "queen of flowers". The scientific spirit of the Renaissance came alive in workshops focused on building telescopes and parachutes. Students explored the principles of optics, learning about the work of Marin Getaldić, while the parachute-making session introduced them to aerodynamics and the pioneering efforts of Faust Vrančić, who designed the first functional parachute in the early 17th century. During the workshops, visitors could enjoy music and dances from both the Renaissance and modern periods.

This celebration of School Day not only provided entertainment but also offered students a hands-on learning experience. The themed fair demonstrated how a school can transform into a space for play, discovery, and exploration, inspiring students to carry their curiosity with them throughout their lives.
