Shabbat Shalom Rabinites

The holidays have arrived! It’s Friday and two weeks of fun, rest and recovery lay ahead and wonderful term behind us. Camps, carnivals, competitions and concerts have this term brightened up our weeks, as we settled into routines, schedules and a busy new school year.

Rabin House ‘grew’ this term with the new Year 7s starting their High School journey and we also welcomed new students across the Year Groups to Emanuel School and the Rabin family. We have already shared many laughs, fond memories and this is just the first term!

Our Years 11 and 12 students have continued to lead by example and been fine role models for the younger students. House Captains, Peer Support and Madrichim leaders have organised events, supported a range of initiatives and kept the House spirit going. It has been great to also see many students who do not hold formal leadership positions take initiative, pursue their passions and engage their peers and the wider community. Rabin House would like to especially commend Eli Picker, Adam Riesel, Adena Sheps, Brianna Gadley, Romy Berson, Lauren Faul on their efforts and for being generous with their time.

Students in Year 11 have the opportunity to participate in the March of the Living Program. It is a journey of growth and discovery and we wish Edan Amsalam, Alanah Borman, Romy Berson, Jonathan Mane, Danielle Miller, Kiara Rosen-Tal, and Arielle Werner a safe and rewarding journey, as they travel through Europe and Israel and strengthen their bond with our culture and history.

This week, Rabin House gave Mr Rembson a wonderful and heartfelt farewell in our House Assembly and wished him and his partner a wonderful time in Europe over the next three terms. Today was really special for me. It meant a lot. Thank you to every student, the Tutors and our House Captains for the moment. I did not expect anything like this and it is a moment and memory I cherish and will always carry with me. Mr Rembson.

A quick reminder that Adam Ezekiel, will be acting Head of House for Rabin in Terms 2, 3 and 4. Mr Ezekiel’s contact details are: Phone (02) 9398 8388 – Extension 338. Email: aezekiel@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au

That’s the Bugle this week. We leave you with a couple photos from the term with Purim celebrations and Rabin’s successful Swimming Carnival. Have a great holiday.
