Our star leaders

Adam Ezekiel – Director of Students 7-12

The Inter-House Music Competition was filled with enthusiasm, energy, colour and House spirit. Whilst there was amazing singing, dancing and performing by all students in the High School in this fun-filled energetic competition, the event highlighted something very different for me. It highlighted the power of student leadership.

The Madrichim and all Year 12 students epitomised ‘Dugma Ishit’ (leading by example) and ‘Hadracha B’Shutafut,’ (Leadership through partnership) – two values that are at the core of our student leadership education in the High School.

The student leadership body (Madrichim) and all Year 12 students (Nitzavim) created every performance, choreographed every dance and led their peers to create and perform each item. They also orchestrated the afternoon by introducing each performance and kept the event running on time. Most importantly – they did all this by collaborating and supporting one another.

Emanuel’s Year 12 students should be so proud of the success of the Inter-House Music Competition and even more proud of the leadership skills they demonstrated in the preparation and execution of the event.
