Meir Advocate
Hello fellow Meirians! Week 7 has come to an end… and only two more weeks to go!
Idan Aruch
Meet a Meirian
The Meirian we have chosen this week is Idan Aruch in Year 9
We asked Idan three random questions. Here are his answers:
-
If you could dis-invent something, what would it be?
If I could dis-invent one thing, it would have to be greenhouse gases so that there will be no more global warming.
-
Would you rather be able to copy and paste in real life or undo in real life?
I would 100% rather be able to undo in real life so that I can fix all my mistakes and all the bad things we have done to this earth. Also, I could get rid of Donald Trump and all evil people who live on the earth.
-
What is the main source of your procrastination?
The main source of my procrastination has got to be YouTube. If I’m not doing work, with friends or playing sport, I think you know where you’ll find me.
Writers Awards
Congratulations to all the Meirian students who participated in the Writers’ Awards last week.
Smith’s Family volunteering
The Smith’s Family “student2student” program works by matching students who need to improve their reading with peer buddies who help and encourage them with their reading. Each student and buddy receives an identical book pack and the reading buddy then telephones the student two to three times a week for at least 20 minutes, over an 18 week period. The student reads to the buddy, who uses the skills learnt in their training to assist the student while offering encouragement and praise. We have many Meirians who have been buddies this year and we would like to congratulate Paris Spennato, Angel Mitrani, Alix Cane and Tara Israel.
Well done on helping students with their reading all year… amazing work girls!

Angel MItrani – Year 12 (2019)
