Here is some of the latest and greatest news from Rabin plus more Year 7 camp memories and an announcement about House Music which will be taking place in Week 4 next term.
P& F School Camp
Year 7’s Daniel Zipser and Alex Gellert both attended the P&F school camp last week – they had a great time playing chess, playing cricket, and going swimming! Here is what Daniel had to say about the P&F camp:
There was great weather, and we had a great time. We played cricket, chess, backgammon, card games and went swimming in Bents Basin. We left school at the end of lunch on Friday, and arrived at the campsite at about 5 o’clock – due to a car crash on the M5. When we arrived, we set up camp, went for Shabbat, played cricket, had dinner, roasted marshmallows, and played some night-time board games in our tent.
On Saturday, it was a heat wave, around 30-35oC degrees. We spent most of the time under our tarpaulins playing chess, backgammon and card games. We woke up around 6.30 am, had breakfast, and then tried to play cricket but found it was too hot. Once we got back from cricket, we had a second breakfast (hobbit style), and around 8.00 am we went swimming. Once we got back from swimming the rest of the day was fairly simple. Eating, playing board/card games and drinking. At around 7.30 pm, Dylan’s family (including Alex) and my family started packing up. We left the campsite around 8.30 pm and arrived home around 10.00 pm.
Student achievements
Zac Urbach (Year 10) competed in the NSW State Athletics Competition over the weekend. Zac came 4th in his heat in the prelims with a time of 11.44, then made the finals in which he came 9th overall out of around 30 state level athletes in his age group, with a personal best time of 11.42. Well done Zac!
Rabin musicians are champions
A huge congratulations goes to Ari, Ezra and Rubin for winning the Emanuel K-2 Music Performance and Composition Competition Finalists Concert on Monday evening.

Base 7 Somerset Camp
The term is coming to an end, and for the Year 7s and their Peer Support Leaders, Somerset Camp was one of the highlights of the term. Here are some more camp photos – where Year 7 Rabin had an amazing bonding experience.
House Music
It has been great seeing Rabin’s preparations for House Music on Wednesday mornings as we have started to learn our awesome dance which we will be performing next term. For anyone keen to do Small House Choir, send an email to Ezra or Ari. The choir is always super fun, and we encourage everyone in Rabin to get involved!
That’s the Rabin Bugle for this week. We hope everyone has a brilliant holidays, and we’ll see you all next term!!
