Rabin Bugle

Shabbat Shalom Rabinites

The holidays are upon us.

Term 2 has gone quickly, and it is hard to believe we are already half way through the school year. This week had an artistic theme with many students across the Year Groups participating in the Art and Music Camps. They have by all accounts had an excellent week.

Leadership 2018-2019

Leadership positions for 2018/19 were announced with new House Captains, Madrichim, Peer Support Leaders and SRC Members. Rabin House would like to commend all students who put themselves forward and congratulate the students who were fortunate to gain a position. Don’t forget that we can all take initiative and show leadership skills. Many great events, that make a difference, are organised and cared for by students who do not hold an official position. Rabin House has a long tradition of student driven initiatives and we are fortunate to have so many excellent role models who inspire and assist the younger peers. Rabin House would like to take the opportunity to again acknowledge and thank our current student leaders who have done a great job over the last year.

Rabin House Captains for 2018/2019 will be Tia Mallinick and Adam Riesel. We also congratulate Lara Rutstein and Rachel Turtledove who will hold Madrichim positions.

Year 11 Peer Support Leaders for Rabin House will be Lachlan Corne, Simone Rappoport, Rachel Zwarenstein and Talia Sinani.
Student Representative Council members for Rabin House will be:

Year 7 – Tess Endrey

Year 8 – Natalie Freed

Year 9 – Jade Berson

Year 10 – Amber Langman

Congratulations! Rabin House look forward to many engaging and inclusive events in the year ahead.

Fishing success

Chelsea Rutstein, Year 11 Rabin, already hold several impressive records and she is a talented angler. This week the Southern Courier carried a feature article on her achievements. We congratulate Chelsea on her continued success and for being nominated for the Southern Courier’s Local Sport Star Award. Below is an extract from a recent article on Chelsea’s achievements from the Southern Courier’s sport section:

“To become a fishing superstar, you need not only skill but plenty of patience. Young Chelsea Rutstein has both in abundance and is blazing a trail for young women in the sport. She has multiple records to her name and trophies aplenty. But the 16-year-old is taking it all in her stride. ‘She has a positive and fair attitude not only to her peers but to the fish too,’ her mum Margaret said. ‘If a fish wins its freedom she just says that there will always be another time to get another one.’ 

“Chelsea, from Maroubra, has been the South Sydney Amateur Fishing Association junior champion, ladies champion and club champion for 3 years running. She also holds 8 State records, 7 national and 1 world record and is Shimano’s 1st junior sponsored angler. Chelsea is our latest Local Sports Stars nominee. The teen is not short of dedication and is often up before sunrise to hit the water. A recent fishing expedition saw her battle a marlin for more than 5 hours before catching and releasing it.’Winning is not everything to Chelsea,’ Mrs. Rutstein said. ‘She gets just as much enjoyment from watching someone else catch their first marlin or other species, than her winding it in herself.’ “

Enjoy the holidays, rest up and don’t forget to follow the exciting World Cup games. The mighty Socceroos may be out but there is still plenty of fun games to enjoy.
