Hi guys,

We cannot believe it is already Term 4 – time flies when you’re having fun! We have a jam-packed term ahead. 

House Drama Week 6

We have very exciting news: In Week 6 (Monday 18 November 2019) there will be a House Drama Competition. In this competition, we will compete against other Houses with performances such as monologues, duologues and group performances in order to win the competition. Please come support all the Meirians and your friends as they have spent many hours preparing these amazing, entertaining, humorous and engaging pieces for you to enjoy.

Examinations

In two weeks, Year 9 and 10 will complete their yearly examinations. This can be quite a stressful time but don’t feel like you’re alone. Here are some helpful tips to prepare effectively for exams:

1. Organise your study space. Make sure you have enough space to spread out all your notes and remove any distractions.
2. Do practice tests. This will familiarise you with your exam content and get you used to exam conditions.
3. Share your notes with others. Find people to swap your notes with. This will allow you to help other people and fill in possible gaps in your knowledge.
4. Take regular breaks and allow yourself to refuel. Although exams are important, make sure you are still spending time with family and friends, getting exercise and doing the things you love.

House Assembly

This week in House Assembly Meir watched the documentary “It Takes a Village,” which is about Genna Radnan’s charity, Gennarosity Abroad and everything she has done for small communities in Kenya. It was so amazing to see what an ex-Emanuel student has achieved and how much she has given back to other people.

More information about Genna’s charity can be found at www.gennarosityabroad.org

Term 4 Motto

This term the motto that we will be focusing on in our House Assembly is “Expect nothing, Appreciate everything.”

Walk4Brain Cancer and The Wolfy Foundation

This weekend (Sunday) there is a 5km Walk4Brain Cancer event in Centennial Park starting at 9:30 am. Our Head of House, Mr Ezekiel told us about this event as it is close to his heart – he raises money for a friend who passed away from brain cancer.

Remember, we are almost there – holidays are just around the corner!

Love your Meir Editors,
