Last week in Rashi

Last week, the mighty Rashi House participated in a Year 12 co-ordinated program centred around the History of the Rashi House and its place at the School. Each Tutor Group (with the exception of Year 8 who participated in a Study Skills program), took part in entertaining games before the Year 12s (or Cali Owen in Year 7s case) ran a skit and proceeded into a Kahoot quiz about Rashi’s history. Some of the questions we asked are:

Who has been the only EVER Rashi Head of House? Answer: Ms Lijovic!!!
How many Ezekiel Cups have we won in a row? Answer: Two
Who painted the Rashi mural in the B30s? Answer: Saachi Owen
What is the Rashi symbol? Answer: A lion
What occupation was Rashi? Answer: Rabbi and Scholar

We had some blazing victories with the Kahoots, with Arielle winning in the Year 9 group and Gidon in the Year 10 group.

This week, the House also participated in a Gender Equality program run by the Year 12s in which they discussed their own personal beliefs and opinions and statistics around Gender Inequality in Australia and globally. They took part in a true or false game and were informed about the permanent switching of two of the basketball hoops to netball hoops to support both the playing of netball and more involvement from girls.

We concluded the Futsal Tournament with Year 12 this week, with some huge wins for Rashi.

Interhouse Debating began this Friday with our Stage 5 group competing.

In the weeks ahead, Aaron and I have some exciting plans for Rashi:
