Hi there!
It’s been a while since you’ve seen the green Meir logo on your Ma Nishma but we are happy to say that the Meir Advocate is back! A lot has happened since our last article…
New House Captains
A massive congratulations to our new House Madrichot, Georgia Kahane and Charlotte Lyons! We are so excited to see what they will accomplish as House Captains and wish them the best of luck for the year to come. The pair are very excited for their time as House Captains and are very excited to bring their individual flair to the house.
We had them answer some questions so we can get to know them better:
What are three cool things about you?
Charlotte:
- I love to dance!
- I love to act!
- Green is my favourite colour (Our House colour!)
Georgia:
- I love to play sport and at the moment I am playing four sports
- I’m a book nerd and love Harry Potter
- I won age champion last year in the CDSSA competition
Why did you want to be House Madricha?
Charlotte, Georgia and Mr Bloom
Charlotte: I really wanted to be House Madricha because ever since Meir was created two years ago, there has been such a warm, positive, endearing and inclusive culture surrounding our new House. I have loved participating in events from the various sports carnivals, ‘House Drama’ and even previously being a Meir Advocate co-editor. So, I wanted to make sure that we keep up the incredible environment that was created for us. I want to make sure every Meirian feels as though their House is a really fun and supportive one. Meir truly is an amazing House and I wanted to be House Captain so that I could give back what it has given me in the last couple of years!
Georgia: I have wanted to be a House Madricha since Year 7 when I went to my first House Meeting. I really wanted to be able to participate in the School community and I want to be able to get people excited for House Competitions and House Assembly.
What are you most excited to do as House Captain?
Charlotte: I am excited for SO MUCH right now but I am definitely the most excited to hopefully be able to choreograph the annual House Music Dance with Georgia and other Meirians for the whole of Meir to perform! I am also really excited to encourage some more house spirit and pride this year with the super fun events and inter-house activities coming up.
Georgia: I can’t wait to help develop Meir as a House and a community and make it a fun place for everyone to be able to express themselves. I think House Music will be an amazing opportunity for that because we can have people from all years get up and dance and sing together as a team.
Also, congratulations to all the new Madrichim for 2020 – 2021 – we are very proud of Dean Reuveny who is a Madrich from Meir. We can’t wait to see your amazing leadership skills in action.
Thank You to our former House Madrichim
We are very sad that our current Year 12s will be leaving us soon. They have just finished their HSC trials and we are sure they are very excited. We wanted to thank Elijah and Jess for being amazing House Madrichim over the past year and to the rest of the Year 12 cohort for being such great leaders. We wish them luck for everything to come and for their HSC.
Meet a Meirian
Meet our new Madrich from Meir, Dean Rueveny, from Year 11! We asked him three random questions below:
What was the best vacation you ever took and why?
Dean: I would have to say a cruise to the Pacific Islands. I was only seven years old at the time and the ship
Dean Rueveny
itself was decked out with an arcade, bowling alley, ice-skating rink and an awesome kids club that I spend my entire trip at. Anyway, it was great seeing the islands and experiencing different cultures at such a young age!
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Dean: Definitely either Milan, Italy or Paris, France! Studying Fashion!
If you could have a super power, what would it be?
Dean: I’d love to read people’s minds, especially my teachers!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Shabbat Shalom
