Rabin

These past few weeks have been incredibly eventful for Rabin House with victories in sport and music, as well as raising a significant amount of money for charity. Unfortunately, we also have to say goodbye to our lovely year 12s as their time at school comes to an end.

A huge congratulations to the Senior Boys Emanuel Rugby Team for winning the JDS Rugby Cup. After a close match against Moriah (29-26), Emanuel took home the victory! Rabin had their fair share of top players, with Ben Torban scoring the opening try and being awarded Man of the Match by the three referees, Ryan Rubinstein making the game-winning intercept and Ari Karjalainen playing for the first time in 13 months. Of course, they couldn’t have done it without our Rabin Head of House, Mr Morley! Congratulations Rabin and the Rugby Team. 

In other news, Ariella Tracton has won the NSW teen division of the Take the Mic Singing competition. This event was live streamed on YouTube on 30 August and you can watch her performance at 9:54 of this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSTmW1rpV3M&ab_channel=TakeTheMic

Another massive congratulations to Ariella for the incredible effort and amazing singing she displayed at this event!

On the 9 September, Rebecca Pillemer (our very own Rabinite) as well as Mirabelle Mirvis and Jasmine Barea held a mufti day and sold brownies in support of the Animal Welfare League, a no-kill shelter that helps surrendered, neglected, and abandoned animals, finding a safe and loving home for them. They raised an impressive $730 and also held competitions for the “coolest pets”, allowing students to submit pictures of their own pets. The winners are below: 

Congratulations Rebecca, Mirabelle and Jasmine for raising so much for an amazing cause!

Sadly, our time with the Class of 2020 is coming to an end. While we will miss you greatly, we will remember the passion you have for the mighty Rabin, and all the incredible things you’ve done for the House. Your endless enthusiasm has been a great inspiration to all of us, and we hope to maintain the spirit you brought. 

To Ryan and Simone – we would especially like to acknowledge all the hard work you’ve done for Rabin. We know you will both achieve fantastic things, and we’re always here to cheer you on. 

Wishing you all the best for your future endeavours. You’ll always be a part of the Rabin House! 

As you can see, Rabin has been pretty active despite the current situation. A final congratulations to everyone and have an enjoyable and safe holiday. 

Shanah tovah
