Justine Hofman – Head of P&F

It’s been a jam-packed term. I’m personally ready for a change in routine and a bit of down time for my kids (and me!). I hope you are all getting a bit of a break too.

Invite a new kid

As we are now just about half way through the year, it’s easy to forget about the newish kids in class. For many who joined our School this year, it’s still a time of adjustment. With holidays upon us, why not extend an invitation to a new classmate for a play date. It’s a fantastic way to make them feel included and embraced within our lovely community. And you never know, your kid might just forge a beautiful new friendship.

Years K-6 40th Celebration
Calling challah plaiting experts and volunteers

You may have heard that the Primary School (Years K-6) will be celebrating our 40th birthday with a beautiful shabbat morning and challah making activity on Friday 4 August 2023.

It’s going to be a wonderful morning and we need 16 parents to help facilitate the challah making and plaiting activity. If you can assist, please sign up. We also need lots of other volunteers to help with the set up and pack down. As you can imagine, setting up the Primary School for a challah and Shabbat celebration is quite a logistical feat so the more help we get, the more wonderful it will be!

Challah assistant and volunteers, please sign up here.

RSVP to attend this event here.

Term 3 Challah subscriptions – order now

While we are on the topic of challah, you can get yours delivered to school every Friday next term thanks to our P&F Challah subscription initiative. There’s nothing better than collecting freshly baked Jesse’s challah and knowing there’s one less thing to do on a Friday afternoon. It’s a nine week subscription so the total cost is $45 with deliveries starting in Week 2. Order here by Monday 24 July 2023.

Have a wonderful break before we come back for a cracking Term 3 with our Primary School 40th celebration, Father’s Day Morning, a Community Pop Up Choir, Pre-loved Uniform Shuk and much more.
