Rabin Bugle

From Little Things Big Things Grow! Congratulations Year 12 Rabin!

Graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning. Today we celebrated and farewelled our Year 12 Rabinites. We shared a wonderful moment, with thoughtful speeches, photos and video clips of their time in High School and there was of course some delicious cake!

Our Year 12s generosity in spirit and actions have made our House rich in so many ways over the years and their kindness, humour and sense of joy will be missed. It is hard to believe that time has passed so so quickly and when they set out on their High School journey our House danced to Eiffel 65’s I’m Blue at Inter-House Music and PSY’s Gangnam Style dominated the charts.

The Rabinities of 2019 have come a long way from those first initial High School steps and Camp Somerset with its Wombat Hole, trekking and kayaking. It has been a journey with much laughter, some adversities and many valuable life and academic lessons. The group has grown, each individual has found his and her individual path and it is a tribute to your character how you all have managed these steps. A wise person once said that it is not so important what people think of you when you start a journey or job, as it is when you finish. The contributions, acts of character and heart that you have shown during your time at Emanuel School have endeared you all to our House, School and Community.

We will miss you and hope to hear from you all from time to time. Each of you will go far and your kind and thoughtful nature will no doubt continue to inspire and make a difference in the world.

Week 8 – Year 10 rocks Rabin House Assembly

House Music is coming and it will hopefully have a happier ending than Game of Thrones! Rabin House commend our Year 10 Rabin Tutor Group and Lachlan Corne and Talia Sinani in Year 11 Rabin, on ensuring our House Assembly rocked and we all enjoyed the House Music Jeopardy. There were many great performances in different categories from Ariella Tracton’s performance of Adele’s Hello, Guy Rein’s version of Billy Joel’s Piano Manto, Ari Merten playing Stevie Wonders Superstition and many more. Rabin House especially commend the following students on giving up their time to prepare and give fine performances:

  • Jade Berson and Lachlan Corne on being great Assembly hosts
  • Ari Merten – performed Your Song by Elton John and Superstition by Stevie Wonder
  • Ezra Hersch – performed Fur Elize by Beethoven
  • Talia Sinani – performed Beautiful People by Ed Sheeran and Khalid
  • Ariella Tracton – performed Brittney Spears’ Hit me baby one more time and Adele’s Hello
  • Ruben Mihalovich – performed Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
  • Guy Rein – performed Piano Manby Billy Joel

It was a top House Assembly with some outstanding performances!
