Year 6 Pathways Shabbat Tefillah and Graduation Ceremony

On Friday Year 6 students and their families gathered for the final Pathways celebration to mark the students’ graduation from Primary School. For the Shabbat tefillah, the Year 6 students created their own siddur, filled with artwork, commentaries and reflections on the Friday night prayers. This siddur was then used by the students as they led their families and the community in a traditional Kabbalat Shabbat tefillah. The Graduation ceremony featured speeches from Ms Milner, Ruby and Aaron, the Primary Head Madrichim, and Dani and Andrew Klein, speaking on behalf of the Year 6 parents. The speeches provided an opportunity for reflecting on the significance of this moment, reminiscing on the memorable experience of Primary School and expressions of gratitude. Each student was called to receive a Graduation Certificate, their Year Book and a gift from the school of a Stand Up Haggadah. The MPH was decorated with beautiful silk challah covers made by the students in Visual Arts which were added to a take home ‘Shabbat bag’ that included Shabbat candles made by the students, challah and Kiddush juice. The following images and extracts are from the Pathways Shabbat Siddur created by the student. Thank you to Ofer Levy for taking photos of the event and for all the staff and families who were part of the celebrations.
