Shabbat Shalom Rabinites!

The holidays are upon us and we have a couple of relaxed and fun – filled weeks to look forward to. Our oldest Rabinites in Year 12 will mix their holidays with studies in the break and start their preparations for the Half Yearly Examinations. We wish them the very best in their preparations.

Rabinites of the Year

Our House celebrates students’ achievements and engagement across the year, and there are many fond memories to look back on from 2018. This year has got off to a great start with some engaging House Assemblies, fun Inter – House Competitions and the exciting Swimming Carnival. Rabin House each year, in Term 1, takes a moment to reflect on where we are and on our great spirit and to celebrate the Rabinite of the Year award.

The Rabinite of the Year award is an informal award to celebrate engagement, student involvement and personal growth and resilience. There were many students nominated by Tutors, our Head of House and House Captains this year. The Rabinite of the Year award was for the first time shared between three students. The 2018 Rabinites of the Year are: Adam Rothschild, Justin Faul and Jade Berson.

Adam Rothschild – Year 8 2019

Justin Faul – Year 9 2019

Jade Berson – Year 10 2019

Adam, Justin and Jade have brought enthusiasm, commitment and have, in their own way, gone above and beyond to support and inspire their fellow Rabinites. Rabin House commends them on their achievements and the character shown.

Mr Morley

Head of Rabin

Mr Rembson will, after 11 years of service to Emanuel, be on long service leave in Term 2. Mr Morley will be the acting Head of Rabin during this term. We wish Mr Rembson a very enjoyable term with lots of travel and time with family and welcome Mr Morley to his new role. Mr Morley has been in Rabin House for close to six years, is the current Year 12 Tutor and has much experience with House and wellbeing matters.

The Friendship Circle

Rabin House recently had a great guest speaker for the Friendship Circle organisation. The organisation offers a range of rewarding programs. The programs and activities include Sunday Circle, Teen Club, Friends At Home, Gymnastics, Sports, Holiday Day Camps, Jewish Festival Programs and the Friendship Walk. The organisation assists volunteers to develop tools and strategies necessary to build a society that is truly inclusive of everyone and we hope many Rabin students will take the opportunity to join.  For more information on becoming a Friendship Circle Volunteer please contact: Chana Kavka, email: chanakavka@sydneyfc.org.au

That’s the Bugle for this week – enjoy the holidays Rabinites!

Reminders: We would love to acknowledge your achievements or celebrations. Please remember to email Mr Rembson or our House Captains – Adam Riesel and Tia Mallinick, if you would like a mention or make an announcement.
