Hey everyone!

We hope you have all had an amazing week.

Environment Week

Last week was Environment Week, which was a great step forward for Emanuel School and making it more environmentally friendly. We introduced compost bins and learnt more about what food goes into which bins. A special shout out to our fellow Meirian, Jake Lewitton, who played a major part in organising this week.

In House Assembly each Tutor Group came up with ideas of ways that we can be environmentally friendly, including:

Using a reusable water bottle
Using a reusable coffee cup
Recycle your paper
Compost your fruit and vegetable scraps
Grow your own vegetables
Pick up any rubbish on the ground

Year 12 Music performances

Congratulations to our Year 12 Meirians – Joel Ehrlich, Josh New and Isabella Flax who performed their musical pieces at the Music Showcase on Tuesday night and completed the performance elements of their HSC subject on Wednesday.

Year 10 Machane Ayekah

Last week Year 10 students arrived back from Machane Ayekah. It was a fun-filled six day experience that made us closer as a year group, as well as strengthening our Jewish identities. Some highlights from the camp included:

Lots of ‘RUACH’
Getting to know the Madrichim
Having a ‘white’ Shabbat.

Year 10 Night of Science and Wonder

Well done to our Year 10 students who presented their Year 10 Science research projects to parents and friends this week. There were research projects on a variety of topics including: the effects of coffee, why people get scared, does eating breakfast affect our memory and many, many more. It is always great to see our fellow peers presenting their incredible work!

Have a great weekend.

Love, your Meir editors, Charlotte Lyons and Tara Israel
