Inter-House Drama Competition

Last week Meir had a number of students perform in the Inter-House Drama competition. Well done to Maayan Granot (monologue), Dean Reuveny and Charlotte Lyons (duologue) and Elijah Grynberg, Isaac Grove, Jacob Wolf and Jake Lewitton (group performance).

Congratulations to the whole Year 12 cohort, particularly Talia Blackman, for organising a wonderful event that had a number of excellent performances from many High School students.

Meir came 2nd in the competition, with Charlotte and Dean being awarded the second best drama performance of the evening. Well done Charlotte and Dean!

Inter-House Futsal Competition

Over the past few weeks, Meir students have participated in the Inter-House futsal competition held on Thursdays at lunchtime. Congratulations to Rashi for winning the senior competition and Rabin for winning the junior competition. 

It has been a well organised format, encouraging maximum participation from several students in all Houses. The Madrichim should be very proud of the quality of this event!

House Assemblies

In Week 6 Meir participated in an activity to make Stress Balls in their Tutor Groups. It was a great activity where students worked together, relied on one another to follow a process and got a bit messy at the same time. Everyone had a great time and some lucky Meirians left the House Assembly with their own homemade stress ball.

In Week 7 the House Assembly focused on the habit of ‘reflecting.’ It was identified that reflecting can help someone improve:

  • Self-awareness
  • Self-improvement
  • Resilience

In the theme of reflecting – Meir House split into small groups and discussed a number of reflective questions about the 2019 school year.

Chavayah

Our Year 10 Meirians are having a wonderful time on Chavayah. Here are some photos of their experience so far.
