Rabin wins the Athletic Carnival

Rabin continues their record run and sweeps the Athletic Carnival for the 4^th year in a row!

Rabinites were awaiting the results with excitement and trepidation when Mr Francis took to the stage on Tuesday morning to announce the results of the Athletics Carnivals. Would our House make history and take home the trophy for the 4th year in a row? Year champions and record breakers were announced, and it looked like a very close race for the overall House competition with Rabin and Rashi being the frontrunners. High participation and a couple of extraordinary individual efforts made the difference and our House Captains could proudly, once again, lift the trophy for Rabin.

Well done to all of you on your efforts and what an athletic year for Rabin House! Rabin House has come out on top in the Swimming Carnival, the Inter-House Soccer Competition and the Athletics Carnival.

New records

Madrichim, House Captain and SRC nominations

It has been pleasing to see so many Rabinities nominate themselves for leadership positions. A common theme between students has been the desire to give back and make a real difference for our wonderful School and broader community. It is a brave and unselfish act to serve but and at the same time very rewarding. We wish all students the best of luck with elections but also remind all, just like the theme of this week’s House Assembly, that everyone can lead, inspire and create happiness for others without an official title. Each year our great school has many students who find their passion and work hard to create happiness and special moments for others.

Save a Child’s Heart

This week, Tia Mallinick and Rachel Turtledove led an inspiring fundraising event for the Save a Child’s Heart Foundation. Save a Child’s Heart is an Israeli-based international non-profit organisation with the mission of improving the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children in developing countries and creating centres of competence in these countries. The Foundation’s goal is to improve the health and welfare of all children, regardless of the child’s nationality, religion, ethnicity, gender or financial situation.

Save a Child’s Heart holds pre- and- post-operative cardiology clinics in Israel and abroad on a weekly basis. It offers a comprehensive training program within Israel for doctors and nurses from developing countries and also leads surgical and teaching missions to partner countries. 

To date, the Save a Child’s Heart Foundation has saved the lives of more than 4,740 children from 56 countries in Africa, South America, Europe, Asia, and throughout the Middle East and also trained more than 150 medical team members from these countries.

“We visited the Save a Child’s Heart Foundation in Israel last December. The experience made a strong impression on us and was truly enjoyable. We learnt a lot about the important work the Foundation does and made many new friends despite the language barriers. If you go on Chavayah or visit Holon in Israel, where the home of the Save a Child’s Heart Foundation is, you will be able to directly see and understand why it is so important to support this life-changing organisation.” Tia Mallinick and Rachel Turtledove.

Rabin House commend Tia and Rachel for organising the fundraising event for this worthy cause. To find out more and to donate please use this weblink:
