Rashi Times

Hey Rashi, Eden and Liv here!

Welcome back Rashi, we are so excited to be back for Term 4 and while it is our last term of this year it is just as busy and jampacked with fun filled events as any other.

Over the holidays Year 7 Rashi student, BJ Shapiro, who plays for the Sydney Comets Basketball team competed in a basketball competition where they came second in their grand final, placing his team as the second-best in all of Australia! The competition consisted of two games a day against the best teams from around Australia and his grand final game attracted a crowd of 2000 people. We are very proud of BJ, if you see him around school make sure to congratulate him on this amazing achievement!

Brody Elbourne – Year 7

Another amazing achievement from one of our Year 7 students comes from Brody Elbourne who competed in the Blackmore’s 3.5km family fun run on Sunday 17 September at the end of last term. There were a total of 6084 runners in the race and Brody came fifth overall and out of the 150 12-15 year olds in his age category, he placed second with an impressive time of 11 minutes and 54 seconds!  

The newly graduated Year 12s started their HSC examinations this week. After a grueling two years of preparation the next month has been a long time coming and we wish everyone doing their examinations a huge good luck, we know you will all do your very best!

Also, coming up in just over a month is the annual House Music Concert which Rashi is going to win this year! We’ve had some seriously impressive auditions for the X-factor peice and the other pieces are really coming along. With a lot of House spirit and enthusiasm Liv and I know we’ll smash it, so everyone get involved! Good singer or not, you have a voice and that’s enough. Can’t wait to see everyone having a ball up on stage.  

That’s it from us this week, have a great weekend.
