Staff changes in Szenes House

A number of staff changes in Szenes House have occurred in the last few weeks. Thanks to Hannah Chedzey, Helen Philp and Oren Thaler for their dedication and support of Szenes students in their time as Tutors. Helen and Oren are now Tutors in Meir House.

Whilst Maxine Chopard is on leave, Tina Greenhill will be the Acting Assistant to the Deputy Principal and Christian Bell will be the Acting Head of Szenes House. Slide McBride and Joshua Moses will take on the role of Acting Year 9 Tutor.

Athletics Carnival

The result were close. There were only 162 points between 1st and 3rd place. Congratulations to Rabin House on their win. We achieved a creditable 3rd place.

Given that we only had 3 Age Champions out of a possible 14, Szenes House participation was pleasing. Well done to all students who participated, and especially those students who were awarded Age Champion or broke a record.

A word from Miriam

Hi Szenes! Sadly (or maybe happily), it’s almost the end of the term. And yes, while it’s exciting to be on school holidays, this time, in particular, is a time to reflect on our 1st half of the year, and see what we can improve on. Soon we will be getting our academic reports, and through it, we can see exactly what we’ve done well in and how we can improve.

Szenes House came 3rd in the Athletics Carnival. The main thing, is that we all gave it a go (although, if we want to win next time, we should all give 100%).

Two weeks ago, we had several members of Szenes leave, to be inducted into Meir House. While this loss isn’t necessarily a happy situation, it means we can all work harder as a smaller group to achieve better results in the sporting carnivals and music competitions.

Quotation of the week

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” – John Quincy Adams

 

 

Have a safe and enjoyable winter break.
