Miriam Itzkowitz, Year 12

This week in Szenes

We are at the end of Week 5! Welcome back to Year 12s who have just finished their Trial HSC examinations. We hope that you are pleased with your performance.

Ashley Cohn – Year 7

Last week our House Assembly was held in Tutor Groups; our new House Madrichim visited each Tutor Group whilst Year 11 students led a getting to know you activity.

Year 9 attended the Mini Mach and by all accounts seemed to enjoy the experience.

From our House Madrichim

The theme for our Week 4 Szenes House Assembly was ‘Getting to know you’. This was because the new Szenes Madrichim, Lexi and Jess began their role this week. The Year 11s spread themselves across each Tutor Group to run an amazing peulah and begin their journey as leaders. First, a Masterchef video was played at the beginning of the session to give the students an introduction to show a little bit about each leader. After this, we got each student to take as much toilet paper as they would normally use. They then had to share as many facts about themselves in relation to the number of squares of toilet paper they had taken. This gave each student the opportunity to share interesting facts about themselves and allowed the other students to learn something new about their peers and their leaders. Overall, the session was a lot of fun and definitely got each Year Group making more connections by learning some new, interesting facts about each other! 

Emanuel Archies

Since the start of June, people have been submitting artworks for the annual Emanuel Archies; our special version of the Archibald Prize. Voting is now open and we would like to encourage everyone to vote; in Szenes or not! The link to see the wonderful submissions is here, and the link to vote can be found on that page.

Science Week

This week is SCIENCE WEEK!! We have had activities throughout the week; on Monday, we had a science-themed scavenger hunt, on Tuesday, we had a bath-bomb making activity, and on Wednesday during Tutor time, the students made models out of recycled materials. On Thursday there was a Science House Trivia competition, and on Friday, it was ‘Dress as an Element Day!’

Meet a Szenesian

This week, we have a special segment on Kol Szenes; Meet a Szenesian! We have interviewed Ellie Morris; a Szenesian in Year 10, to help get to know her.
