Shabbat Shalom Rabinites

School bags are packed, new routines set and no time to sleep in. The new school year is well on its way and there have been many happy reunions over the last couple of days.  We have had much to celebrate already and many people to welcome. All High School Houses gave a special welcome to our new principal Mr. Watt in the Tu BiShvat celebration with thoughtful speeches and a tree planting ceremony. Rabin House would like to commend our House Captains Tai Oschlack and Alanah Borman and the Madrichim student body on their fine effort and preparations for this event.  

Rabin House officially welcomed our new and youngest Rabinites this week at House Assembly. The Rabin family is growing and we are very fortunate to have Ms Adelstein and Mr Helm, tutors for Rabin 7.1 and 7.2, join our House. Mrs Udovich is making a return as a Tutor for 12.1 Rabin, replacing Mr Burley who will enjoy his well-deserved long service leave. Many of our new students have already shown interest for extra-curricular and House activities and we encourage everyone to make the most of the opportunities at our school.

Rabin House also welcomed back our Head of House, Mr Rembson, this week. Mr Rembson has enjoyed spending time with his family in Europe over the last couple of months. The House Assembly gave us all an opportunity to thank Mr Ezekiel for all his efforts as acting Head of Rabin during the three terms that Mr Rembson was on leave. Mr Ezekiel will, in the months ahead, take on the permanent role as Head of House for the new House at Emanuel School and we wish him all the very best, knowing he will be great in this role.

The Swimming Carnival is on Monday and it is all about good times, participation and giving your best. So – bring your spirit, swimming goggles and loud chants! Rabin House took home the trophy by a narrowest of margins last year thanks to participation points. Let’s see if we can make history by having the most fun and also take home the trophy for third time in a row. Rest up, go for a swim on the weekend and we’ll see everyone bright and early on Monday morning, wearing House Colours and ready to race.

Go Rabin!
