Hi Everyone!

We hope everyone is having a good week and is staying safe in these crazy times. We can’t believe we are almost at the end of Term 3! 

As many of you know, this time is filled with PoUs and exams, so here are some helpful tips we have come up with to get through this stressful time: 

  1. Plan out the work you want to get done each night. 
  2. Study hard, but efficiently. Don’t bombard yourself with revision notes or past tests.
  3. Remember to take a break when you need it.
  4. Get as much exercise or fresh air as you can to calm down.
  5. Organise your study space, make sure you can focus in your space. 

 

Dodgeball

Congratulations on the recent win from our Year 7 team in the inter-House competition and a huge thank you to everyone who participated in that team, as well as everyone in the Year 8 team, who also recently competed. We are looking forward to seeing our Years 9 and 10 teams play this week, along with our Years 11 and 12 teams next week. As we get back into the swing of things with some friendly inter-House competition, we encourage you all to get involved and help lead Meir to victory in the Ezekiel Cup. 


Science Week 

Along with our dodgeball victory, Meir also won the Science Week Quiz. Since Meir’s first year of existence we have won every Science quiz! Go Meir! It is so amazing to see that even in these highly unusual times, Meir is still able to come together, truly embracing our House spirit.  

Birthdays

September is full of Meir birthdays, so we would like to wish a very happy birthday to: Issy Saraf, Georgia Kahane, Jake Lewitton, Gideon Pozniak, Anton Blair, Oren Levin-Kahn and Elijah Grynberg! We hope you all have amazing days and wonderful years to come.
