Rabin
Shabbat Shalom Rabinites!
Welcome back to what has already been an exciting term. We would like to give a warm welcome to our new Year 7 Rabin students, and wish them all the very best for their first year of High School. Please take the time to make them feel welcome and remember to go to the Wellbeing Centre (Heads of House Office) during the day if you have any concerns, questions or would just like to say hello.
This term Rabin students enjoyed participating in the annual School Swimming Carnival. This annual event is a highlight on the School calendar with the points from the carnival contributing to the much-prized Ezekiel Cup, the award the Houses vie for each year. Rabin achieved a great result coming 2nd overall with 701 points total and our Open Senior Girls Relay Team competing in a successful race and winning in what was to be the last time many of these students race for Rabin.
Years 7 and 8 Camp
The Year 7 and Year 8 students recently attended the Somerset Camp. What an amazing experience – and the students were awesome! There were lots of activities – kayaking, high ropes, low ropes, hiking, archery – a few tears and loads of laughter. On Day 1, we were on the road bright and early, full of excitement, ready to meet our fantastic Camp Leaders at the campsite. The weather overall was great! It rained a few days but, hey, it’s all part of camping.
“During camp we did a fun activity called Base 7, where we dressed up in camo gear and had to sneak up on the teacher and gather until, without them knowing it. Our team demonstrated amazing stealth skills, being found only once despite half our group singing ‘into the unknown’ all the way down”. Oscar Salek (Year 7 Rabin)
It was such a great bonding experience hanging out with one another, overcoming challenges together, feeling proud together, laughing together and cooking and eating together.
The Year 7 and Year 8 students learnt a lot about one another and from one another. The students were truly impressive, and everyone gleaned something positive and personal from the experience.
Now we’re all back at school and ready to see what exciting things the next few years hold.
Well done everyone!
House Assembly
Rabin’s House Assembly last week was full of fun as we all participated in yoga and dancing! Students from every year group put their hands up to volunteer to do yoga poses, competing with the other year groups. This was pretty challenging and it was entertaining to watch..
In the spirit of the upcoming House Music, the whole of Rabin House took part in a Just Dance, ending off our House Assembly on a great high!
