Meir House
House Music
This week we had three auditions for the X-Factor item of the House Music competition next term. Thank you to Maia Perl, Coby New and Lucy Klein; and Josh New & Joel Ehrlich, who all performed their X-Factor performance at House Assembly this week. All three performances were outstanding and we will now wait until all Meirians vote and the winning performance is announced.
Meet a Meirian
The Meirian we have chosen this week is Zac Boswell. We will ask Zac three random and interesting questions and show you his answers.
Q: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for?
A: Scaring Mr Ezekiel on ski camp in the middle of the night.
Q: What is the best compliment you’ve ever received?
A: I don’t know. Probably “You’ve been a great help,” surprisingly.
Q: What could you give a 40-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?
A: DC and Marvel superheroes. I could go for more than 40 minutes.
Greg Allen – Year 11
Eden Levit – Year 7

Can’t wait for you guys to run for Meir next year!
Inter-House Debating
Thank you to all Meirians who represented our House in the inter-house debating competition. The following students were part of one of the two debating teams: Isabella Flax, Rebekah Goldsworthy, Isaac Grove, Maayan Granot, Joshua Moses and Alix Cane.
These Meirians did an incredible job, making it to the final, where they narrowly lost to Rashi in a heated debate.
House Assembly
Last week we had a great House Assembly where we played a game which involved us speaking to random people in Meir. The aim of this game was for us to be able to talk effectively to people. This game was such a great experience as it allowed us to meet new Meirians from all Year levels and really built the Emanuel spirit. As well as this it also encouraged us to go out of our comfort zones and built our confidence. House Assembly has been an inclusive place in which we can explore ourselves and build Meir together.
Quote – Golda Meir
“Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny inner sparks of possibility, into flames of achievement. ”
We hope you have a great holiday break and look forward to an awesome Term 4 too! Stay tuned for more Meir-related fun next term.
Love, your Meir Editors,
Charlotte Lyons and Tara Israel
