Shabbat Shalom Rabinites!

A new year!

The first two weeks have flown by and you should hopefully by now be settling into your new routines and finding your classrooms on time. We have a great year ahead of us. Rabin House would like to give an extra warm welcome to the Year 7 cohort, who have just begun their High School journey, and the new students who have joined our House. We have new Tutors for our youngest Rabinities – Mr Furman and Mrs McAndrew. They will guide and provide invaluable advice for these students during their passage through High School. Rabin House commends the Peer Support leaders who came in early from their holidays to spend time with the Year 7 Tutor Groups. The Peer Support leaders will lead weekly activities and help guide the Tutor Groups through exciting activities at Somerset Camp.

Well done to our Peer Support leaders Alanah Borman, Sean Torban, Kiara Rosen-Tal, Tai Oshlack , Lauren Faul and Jonathan Mane.

There are so many fantastic events and opportunities on offer at Emanuel School and we encourage all of you to try new things and to step out of your comfort zone. Rabin House has already had two House assemblies with Friendship and Teamwork as themes and it is great to see you all join in, participate and keep our special spirit going. We have also handed out the new Rabin pins, and it has been nice to see so many of you wearing them on your uniform during this week.  

We have three eventful weeks ahead. Next week Rabin House has exciting guest speakers visiting us. In Week 4, Years 7 and 8 go to Somerset Camp and the Annual Swimming Carnival is held in Week 5. Rabin House is doing well in the race for the Ezekiel Cup. We championed home the Athletics Carnival in style and finished close second at Inter-House Music, so this could be the year we take home the Cup.

As always, if anyone in our House wishes to contribute to the weekly article, they should email Mr Rembson. We would love to hear about your achievements in any field, and will ensure your fellow Rabinites acknowledge them accordingly!
