Rabin Bugle
Sammi Epstein – Year 9
Emily Seemann – Year 9
Hello everyone, it’s Sammi Epstein and Emily Seemann from Year 9 Rabin and we are the new editors of the Rabin Bugle!
Join us as we explore the highlights of this term in Rabin, including its many successes, House Assemblies and Tutor sessions, as well as what makes our House so special.
A big shout out to our new Year 7s and their Tutor, Ms Cooper, who was previously last year’s Year 12 Tutor. We wish her the best as she helps this bright new group of students make their way through High School. Welcome to Rabin Year 7, we can’t wait to get to know all of you.
We also welcome Ms Hartley, the new Year 12 Rabin Tutor, we are so glad to have you with us!
Swimming Carnival
How could we forget our first victory of the year?! The blue in our House must stand for the swimming talent, passion and energy that all Rabinites bring every year, as this is not the first Swimming Carnival we have won.
The passion in Rabin is something to be admired as, even when we are not swimming, we still cheer each other on. Being in Rabin is about community and that was all too present at the Swimming Carnival.
We also had many wins, including our superstar Junior and Intermediate Girls relays!
House Assembly
Every Thursday morning we congregate for our weekly House Assembly, run by our awesome House Madrichim – Gabriella Freed and Maya Foreman.
What makes Rabin so special is how the entire House works together and respects each other as we participate in unique activities and conversations helping us to build connections with our Tutor groups and our fellow Rabinites!
Our Year 12 Leaders have introduced the concept of family groups, comprised of a few people from each level. These family group activities help us connect and collaborate across the year levels. In the big house of Rabin there is always someone who you can ask for help!
International Women’s Day House Assembly
Every House Assembly is different, focused on important themes like International Women’s Day. At that particular assembly, we learnt about the challenges and stereotypes that women are forced to face in society.
We played a version of Bingo that required us to find other students who knew the answers to a series of questions about women’s achievements and gender sterotypes:
- Could you name a female prime minister?
- A famous male dancer?
- Do you know someone who has a stay-at-home Dad?
We also looked at a riddle
A boy is having a job interview and his dad comes along. In the car, the boy gets a call from the CEO of a company and the person on the phone says, “Good luck, son”.
His dad was in the car though, so how is this possible? *
*Answer is at the end of the article.
Every House Assembly brings creative ways to discuss important topics that impact our lives and participate in activities that bring Rabin closer together.
Thanks for sticking with us till the very end of this Bugle!
