Our school community includes a wealth of talent in many aspects and forums of the wider community and industry, and we love to be able to share some of this information and their achievements  with you.  

We are very proud of parent, School Board member and accomplished author and journalist Shira Sebban who has written an amazing book, Unlocking the Past: Stories from My Mother’s Diary. In conjunction with the Shalom Sydney Writers Festival, we will be launching Shira’s new book here at school on Sunday 27 May. 

Israel Embassy spokesperson and cultural attaché, Dorit Herscovici, and UNSW Associate Professor, Leanne Piggott, will be launching the book on Sunday 27 May 2018 between 3.00 pm – 5.00 pm in the Angles Leadership and Learning Centre and Millie Phillips Theatre.
