Hi Everyone,

It’s Ally and Maayan from Year 9 Meir. We are so excited to announce that we are the new Meir Advocate editors. We hope you had an amazing break and we also wanted to thank the past editors, Charlotte and Tara for all of their hard work over the last two years. We are really looking forward to being able to continue the Meir Advocate over the next couple of years.  If there is anything you would like us to include in future newsletters, make sure to send us an email: cane.alix@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au or granot.maayan@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au.

Welcome New Meirians 

We wanted to welcome all the new Year 7 students who have now joined Meir! We are so excited to have you guys in the Meir, and we hope you enjoy being part of our amazing house. We also wanted to say a huge welcome to all of our new Meir teachers: 

• Mr Alvarado, Year 12 Tutor 
• Ms Evdokimova, Year 10 Tutor 
• Mr Dunn, Year 7 Tutor 

In addition, of course, a welcome to our new Acting Head of House, Mr Bloom. 

We are looking forward to a great new year with all of our new additions. 

House Music 

Term 1 means a lot of new and exciting things including House Music, which will take place in Week 9. Thank you to all of Year 12 who have worked so hard on creating the dance and putting together all the music. It’s going to be an amazing night and we can’t wait for Meir to win. 

Year 7 Camp

Finally, last week all of Year 7, their tutors, Mr Bell and the amazing Peer Support Leaders made the journey to Somerset to go on Year 7 camp. We wanted to thank our Meir Peer Support Leaders, Elia Gil-Munoz, Dean Reuveney, Georgia Kahane and Becky Nebenzahl who all went on camp. The camp was filled with amazing times and many memories were made.

Here’s what the Peer Support Leader, Elia Gil-Munoz had to say about camp: 

What was your favourite memory of camp?

My favourite memory of camp was without a doubt during a sikkum when a new student said she felt like she’d been at Emanuel for years. As leaders we are encouraged to go into everything with an aim, mine was to make everyone feel included and like they belong within their groups- this response warmed my heart and will most definitely stick with me for a long time.

What was your favourite activity from camp?

My favourite activity from camp was high ropes. All the Peer Support Leaders in my group got involved and it was really a time where we bonded both with our Chanichim and each other in a way that we hadn’t yet. We got to work with a partner and challenge ourselves as well as encourage each other to go that one step further. The activity acted as the perfect way to deepen our connections with one another and work on teamwork skills!
