Veni – Natavi – Vici   Rabin swims home gold!

Swimming is all about good times and Rabin House certainly had that last Friday, as our mighty House took on Rashi and Szenes in the pool. The House spirit was high, chants loud and our training session with ‘Deno’, our special swimming instructor, had certainly made us ready to make the most of the day. Rabin House’s participation was at a record high and proved that if you have a lane, you have a chance. Our House made waves and scored 827 points – a new record for Rabin! It was great to see everyone happy and give their best. Participation, team spirit and individual achievement mixed with lots of fun has been a great recipe and we can now add swimming success to our fine achievements in Athletics, Inter-House Music, the Science Challenge and Debating. It is also important to praise the fine sportsmanship of Szenes and Rashi Houses who gave their very best and also recorded some outstanding results.

The House Captains, Head of House and the Tutors commend all of you for your effort and we look forward to celebrating together at our next House Assembly. We also congratulate the students who were fortunate to reach new heights and become Age Champions and/or set new records – amazing achievements!
