Shalom Shabbat Rabinites!

We hope you all have had a great couple of weeks and now settled into routines and schedules. The last couple of weeks have been engaging and fun with our new House Madrichim and Year 11 Rabin embracing their leadership roles and leading the way in style.

Preparations for the annual Inter-House Music competition have begun and Rabin House are very excited. House assemblies have over the last two weeks focused on teamwork and cooperation in musical settings and each Year Group have had their moment to shine. Congratulations to Year 8 and Year 9 who each won a Tutor Group music challenge over the last two weeks.

This year, there will be three categories to compete in at the Inter-House Music evening with the Big House item, X-Factor and a Small House item on the menu. Rabin House will hold auditions in Week 8 for the X-Factor representative for our House. Please email our House Madrichim, Tia Mallnick and Adam Riesel or Mr Rembson if you would like to enter. Do remember to include the name of the song and what music equipment that you would like to use on stage, so we can make timely preparations.  Tia’s and Adam’s email are:

Congratulations Ben Torban!

Ben Torban, Year 9 Rabin, (pictured opposite) competed in the National Ballroom Dancing Competition in Launceston this past weekend. Ben showed flair and skills and placed third in his age group. Quite an achievement! It is challenging competition, the Dance Review magazine covered the event and expressed that the high standard of performances made it the competition of the year. Well done Ben!!

Inter-House Science Competition

Rabin House was well represented in the Science Competition this week. It was great to see so many of you participate in a range of activities throughout the week and for doing so well on the Friday Inter-House competition. We are all looking forward to hearing Ms Selinger announce the results and to see if any House team was able to take an historic first win over the teachers’ team.

Reminder: We would love to acknowledge your achievements or celebrations. Please remember to email Mr. Rembson or the House Madrichim – Tia and Adam if you would like a mention or make an announcement.
