Jonathan Schach – Year 10

This week we congratulated the Class of 2019 on their graduation. As they made their departure out of Emanuel School many tears were shed, but the excitement for what the future held for them was made apparent. Without the Year 12s with us, there will definitely be a hole in our school. Although we know that it will be filled soon, their passion, friendliness and ability to have a mature discussion with us is something that I believe each and every student in high school will miss. Despite this, we are excited that they will be starting a new phase in their lives and I wish them all the best for what is in store for them.

Here is what a student from Rashi had to say about the Year 12s:

“The High School was led with absolute engagement and passion. Their undeniably cheerful personalities is something we all admired and will certainly miss.”

On another note, with the holidays now commencing, I encourage all students to maximise it as an opportunity to have fun, spend time with friends, but most importantly stay safe. If students are ever looking for something to do, I would recommend getting involved in some sort of charitable program such as the Friendship Circle. They have programs every Monday, Tuesday and Sunday. During these programs, you are able to spend time and assist individuals with special needs and form ‘lasting friendships’. Each program is engaging, lots of fun and is incredibly rewarding for everyone involved. Below I have attached the link for any more information one is seeking on the activities and the goals of Friendship Circle. www.friendshipcircle.org/programs/

Thanks so much for a great term Rashi, Shana tova and wishing you all a wonderful holiday.
