Hi everyone!

Year 10 Ayekah Camp

On Tuesday, Year 10 went on Ayekah Camp! We cannot wait to hear all about their experiences when they get back on Sunday. 

Night of Song

Emanuel School held their annual “Night of Song” on Thursday 22 August 2019 . It was a magical night filled with heartfelt, emotional and joyful songs from many different musicals. Congratulations to Meirians Josh New, Alice Milner and Zoe Nebenzahl for their outstanding performances on the night. 

Year 12 Art and Drama Showcase

Congratulations to the Year 12 Art and Drama students for the incredible showcase of their major works last week. Well done to the Meirian artists – Olyvea, Bella, Angel, Paris and Ashlee for their amazing artworks. Drama students, Gabi and Angel, followed the art exhibition with their entertaining drama monologue and group performances. 

Science Week

Last week was Science Week and during House Assembly Tutor Groups made ‘catapults’ out of paddle pop sticks, rubber bands and a spoon (thanks Ms Bishop and Ms Selinger for your help with the activity). It was a competition and Year 9 won the catapult competition!

Meir also competed in the Science Trivia Quiz on Friday lunchtime. It was amazing to see so many Meir students there to represent their House. The final result… drum roll please…. 1st PLACE for Meir. Well done everyone on a great victory!

House Assembly

Malena Navarro

This week in House Assembly we had a ‘Meir Appreciation Assembly,’ where we appreciated the amazing talents that we have in our House. Thank you to Josh New, Alice Milner and Zoe Nebenzahl for singing, the Year 12 Art students for displaying their artworks and the Year 12 Drama students for performing their major works. We also had Malena Navarro, Year 9 exchange student from Spain join the ‘On The Couch’ segment of the Assembly.

Term Motto: We Rise By Lifting Others

As we head into week 7, exams and PoUs are emerging and stress levels are starting to rise. So, just a reminder to think of Meir’s term motto: “We Rise by Lifting Others”. Be the encouraging, positive and understanding friend who spreads love, laughter and joy to all those around you. Remember to always spread kindness so that we can all move forward and thrive together.

Have a great weekend!

Love, your Meir Editors, Charlotte Lyons and Tara Israel
