Hey everyone, we are back and are really happy to be your Meir Editors again in 2019! We hope you have all had an absolutely amazing, relaxing break and have come back to school ready and rejuvenated for an exciting year ahead. Some important things coming up are:

New Meirians

We give a very warm welcome to all the Year 7 Meirians who are in our House this year. We also have new teachers joining us:

• Ms Birrel (Year 7 Tutor)
• Mr Bloom (Year 10 Tutor)
• Mr Camp (Year 11 Tutor)
• Ms Shanahan (Support Tutor)

Thank you so much for joining Meir House and we look forward to some great, fun-filled years ahead.

Orientation Day

Thank you to our Meir Peer Support Leaders – Rebekah Goldsworthy, Samara Trenaman, Mia Gold and Cade Collins. The guidance, support and activities that you ran for the Year 7 Meir students made their transition into High School so much easier. They are lucky to have such amazing Peer Support Leaders.

Meirian goes to New York

Congratulations to Dean Reuveny (Year 10 Meirian) who has been lucky enough to be selected to attend an international Jewish Youth forum, through JEMS in New York. We wish Dean safe travels and hopes that he has an amazing experience in New York.

Charlotte Lyons – Year 10

Meet a Meiriain

This week we thought you could get to know one of us – the editors. So here are three random questions that will hopefully help you get to know Charlotte Lyons a little better.

What’s one purchase you bought on a whim?

Five baby hermit crabs (it seemed like a good idea at the time).

Where is the most interesting place you’ve been?

East Timor, for sure.

What websites do you visit most often?

Netflix and Edumate!

Meir Quote – “Respond, don’t react”

In our Meir House meeting this week we talked about the skill of responding and thinking about what we are saying and doing, instead of just blindly reacting. In the spirit of this, a Meir quote was made, something which all Meirians should put time and effort into thinking about and following. The quote is “Respond, don’t react”.

We are both looking forward to a great year ahead with you.

Love, your Meir Editors, Charlotte Lyons and Tara Israel
