Introducing the Rashi House Captains 

I’m Aden, and I am super excited to be representing the famous Rashi House in the year to come, whether it is through academics or sporting events. As a former Rabinite, I have come to understand that the other Houses are simply inferior to that of Rashi’s might and that we will once again be claiming the Ezekiel Cup for a third time in a row, this year. I am very keen to be running the Rashi House along with Aaron, Ms Lee and of course the Year 12 Rashi Tutor Group who will be maintaining the glory of the House that was set extremely high from our previous House Captains – Dylan Christie and Alex Placek. I am very thankful for this opportunity to represent the House and ensure that, even in these difficult times, Rashi continues to be an awesome House to belong to.

I’m Aaron, and I’m just as excited to take on this role and represent all of Rashi from Year 7 all the way up to Year 12. House spirit and House community are two things that I think are super important and Aden and I strive to create a Rashi House where everyone can feel comfortable and accepted. Rashi House has so many amazing students that excel in aspects of the school ranging from swimming to cross country to discussing Science, trivia and so much more. I am so excited to see this Rashi student body support their peers in everything they do. Sport is a particular interest for me, but I love all of the drama, music and academic aspects too. It’s going to be an awesome year filled with achievements and growth and we can’t wait to embark on this journey with all of those in the mighty Rashi House. 

Term 3 update

Science Week

Weeks 5 and 6 have been the first opportunities for the Houses to claim the first Ezekiel Cup points since the election of the new leadership body. Rashi got off to a promising start with Rashi Year 11 winning the Year Group’s Science Week Trivia with their expertise in the field.

Rashi meet the Mads, Year 11 and the House Captains

On Wednesday, all Rashi Tutor Groups participated in a Year 11 Rashi-run program, where they took part in some fun games, learnt about how they can contribute to the House and what it means to truly be a member of Rashi House. Students watched a video introducing the House Captains and the Year 11 Tutor Group and took part in a Jeopardy-style guessing game of how people looked when they were a baby and what they look like now. They also heard from Charlotte and Aiden in a WIFLE (What I Feel Like Expressing) about what it means to have red hair and how unique it is. On Wednesday at lunchtime, the Houses competed in a Dodgeball Competition run by the Year 11 Sports Va’ad. There were teams from Years 7 – 11 competing and the support for the mighty Rashi House was unmatched as the Houses competed for the first Ezekiel Cup points in a sporting event. While the rivalry was fierce, all Houses portrayed sportsmanship and the dodgeball was a fun activity for all to part-take in. Additionally, Year 10 PASS ran a Futsal competition on Friday with mixed members from all Houses to play other teams in Emanuel. 

Thank you

Aaron and I would like to thank Alex Placek and Dylan Christie for their dedication to the House, particularly in these difficult times. They have been role models to us and will continue to be for the rest of Rashi House. We wish them along with the rest of the cohort the best of luck in the HSC.

Stay in touch
