Rashi Times

This week’s agenda consisted of Science Week, an annual event which all the students anticipately wait for each year. Some incredible activities and experiments were done that left everyone with high expectations for the following day. It commenced with a scavenger hunt that consisted of students running all over the school using hinted clues given to them.

There was also the famous science show on Wednesday where everybody who attended received some delicious ice cream made from liquid nitrogen. On Tuesday, an amazing opportunity to help the less fortunate was opened up to the school as part of the science week event.

Students took part in making solar powered lamps for students in Zimbabwe so that they could study at night. Being able to assist people to have a better education was quite powerful for some of the students. 

On another note, in our House session this week, two best friends in Rabin teamed up against two best friends from the mighty Rashi. This game was to test how well the students knew each other all in contribution to the week of Tu B’Av. Successfully, it is to my belief, that Rashi pulled through the win for us yet again, although Rabin did put in a solid effort. As the term is now reaching its half-life, it is great to see that all the students are so passionate and engaged in the House activities.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and the Year 10s luck on their “Ayekah” camp next week.
