This year, our High School celebrated Purim with more ruach and meaning than ever before.

Celebrations started with one of the most impressive costume parades in recent memory, with all staff and students strutting their stuff and our Year 12 leaders presenting awards for the varied and entertaining costumes. The Year 12s also presented a ‘Modern Purim Shpeil,’ acting it out on stage with Selfies, the Batchelor and Eggboy.

We exchanged Mishloach Manot, danced and explored the Purim theme of memory in student run peulot. Year 8 heard an interactive Megilah reading led by students, teachers and staff. Our celebrations concluded with the famous Year 11 Purim Shuk at lunchtime with a bouncy castle, face painting, cookie making and more.

Our school was alive with joy, colour and celebration.
