Meir Advocate

 

Farewell for now…

Well done everyone for making it through another school year and I am sure everyone is ready for a nice long summer holiday.

Unfortunately, this will be the last Meir Advocate I write for a while. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the setting up, running and overall homely feel of Meir House.

I will start by thanking the staff members that make Meir House what it is every day: Ms Birrell, Mr Thaler, Ms Bishop, Mr Bloom, Mr Camp and Ms Selinger and Ms Shanahan. Thank you for your commitment to your Tutor Groups, your enthusiasm during House activities and supporting each student in your Tutor Group in more ways than they will know. On behalf of every one of your students – THANK YOU for everything you do!

To the students – thank you for making coming to school everyday fun and enjoyable. It was incredibly rewarding to start Meir House, but even more rewarding to work with you all every day. Next year, I will definitely miss Emanuel, in particular working with all of the Meirians in the school. My final words for you is to reiterate our Meir Mottos this year:

  1. Term 1 – ‘Respond, don’t react’
  2. Term 2 – ‘Stars can’t shine without darkness’
  3. Term 3 – ‘We rise by lifting others’
  4. Term 4 – ‘Expect nothing, appreciate everything’

Have a safe and relaxing summer break and an enjoyable 2020 at Emanuel.

See you in 2021!

Mr Ezekiel
