Cely Malki Family After-School Program

The Wolanski Family Specialist Learning Centre (SLC) is delighted to announce the launch of a new After-School Program, commencing in Week 5. This program has been generously sponsored by the Malki Family, in honour of Cely, an important and much-loved matriarch, who prioritised family and education and made her mark in the world. The After-School Program will provide opportunities for students (initially in Years 5-12) to receive additional teaching and structured learning time, as a complement to school-based teaching and learning. Any teaching undertaken will be designed to support on-going classroom learning, so information on progress will be fed back to students, teachers and parents. The aims of the program are to increase learning and learning-related skills and increase students’ confidence in their capacities to manage in the school environment. The program will run on Monday and Thursday afternoons from 3.30-5.30pm. For more details, please follow the link

 

Years 7 and 8 Camps 

Going down the wombat hole.

Balancing on crates

The highlight of my week was my time at Somerset Outdoor Learning Centre, Lower Colo on Tuesday, where I visited seven of the eight House Groups, camped at different locations along the Colo riverbank. The beautiful bushland setting, the waterfront views, the quiet surroundings and the freedom from any social media, was soothing. Our Year 7 campers were becoming adept at setting up their tent without fuss, preparing meals and washing up! Watching an entire group overcome their fears and enter the dreaded wet and dark wombat hole, with the encouragement of their peers, was special, as was watching students conquer their fear of heights, in the crate-stacking activity. The take away for parents? Your children are far more capable and resilient than you realise!

The Year 8 campers had to step up well beyond the Year 7 ‘Introductory Program.’ The hikes, carrying a full pack, and the long canoe rides against the current, challenged the fitness and courage of many. As predicted, our campers completed each challenge with flying colours. Again, it was striking to see the ways that the students who struggled were supported and encouraged by fellow students. No one was left behind or mocked for not keeping up. Success was celebrated, even if it was merely to finish the activity. Those on camp who suffered from illness or homesickness, and who stayed for most or all of the camp also deserve recognition for overcoming their difficulties and persevering. Parents should be very proud.

No screens on greens

On Sunday 10 March, you will find many Emanuel families, sans shoes, playing barefoot bowls. I can’t say I have ever participated in the sport, but students have assured me that it is great fun. To top it all, there’s no screens on the greens!

There is an advert in this week’s Ma Nishma, with all the details you need to have a fabulous Emanuel afternoon out.

Donated pavers

Many of you will remember the paving stones that decorated a pathway by Waxman Drive. These pavers included the names of staff, families and students – many of whom drew wonderful pictures celebrating their time at Emanuel School. This was a fundraising project by the P&F in 2010. During our planning of the building works over the past school holidays it became apparent that we would need to remove these pavers to make way for our landscaping project. This was a difficult job and most of the pavers were destroyed in the process. We are developing options to recreate the messages, names and drawings, ensuring that these are still displayed and continue to be a part of the School’s history. I will continue to keep you informed of our progress.

Mazal tov

Madrichim from four schools were involved in a humanitarian activity together with JEMS last week, sorting through donated clothing which is given to people in need and also sent to different places around the world. Our Head Madricha, Rachel Turtledove, is pictured with the group opposite.

Marcus Tsimbler in Year 7, has been nominated to represent South Maroubra at the 2019 Junior State Championships to be held later this year. The State Championship is considered the most distinguished event that a nipper athlete can participate within the Surf Lifesaving movement. 

On Thursday our senior boys won their first round 5-1 in the CIS Football Cup knock-out competition against the favoured St Joseph’s College, well done boys.

Quote of the week

The Leader In Me (part 1 of 2)

The Leader in Me program is one of our main wellbeing platforms and is based on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’. This approach runs across Years K-6 and equips our students with the skills and knowledge to be 360-degree people who act on their dreams and pursue their goals.

My next few Ma Nishma articles will provide a summary of each habit as well as at-home activities to build stronger connections and deeper understandings of the important concepts this program teaches.

The first three Habits focus on helping children to become more independent and responsible.

Habit #1 – Be Proactive

Being proactive means taking responsibility for your choices and behaviours. It is being able to stop and think before we act. This habit focuses on thinking about results before deciding what to do.

You’re in Charge.

I am a responsible person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes and moods. I do not blame others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.

Activity suggestions:

  • Role-playing scenarios that involve stopping and thinking about the results
  • Work on eliminating an unhealthy habit together (eg: too much screen time, not exercising and so on).

Habit #2 – Begin With The End In Mind

When we begin with the end in mind we think about how we would like something to turn out before we start.

Have a Plan.

I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to my School’s mission and vision. I look for ways to be a good citizen.

Activity suggestions:

  • Make your favourite recipe together
  • Plan and execute a family event/activity (eg: a day at the park, games night and so on).

Habit #3 – Put First Things First

This Habit focuses on prioritising; deciding what is most important and taking care of that first.

Work First, Then Play.

I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organised.

Activity suggestions:

  • Develop a weekly planner with your child. Look ahead and rank tasks in order of importance
  • Identify time-wasters and work together to figure out what to do about these tasks.

Meet The Teacher Night: competition winners

Thank you for attending our Meet the Teacher event on Monday night and participating in the music competition. The winners are Natalie Chesler, Michelle Gold, Sam Butt and Donna Mae Schwarz. Congratulations! Prizes will be sent home this week with your child/children.

Years 3-6 Swimming Carnival

The Swimming Carnival will take place next Monday, 25 February at Des Renford Aquatic Centre. Please see the parent portal for all details and the schedule of events.

New Parents Welcome Evening

We hope to see and meet many new parents in Week 6 at the New Parents Welcome Evening. Please join us on Monday 4 March at 7.00 pm. You will have received an email invitation recently. Please RSVP by 26 February to mfavero@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au

Bus behaviour

To ensure the safety of all children travelling on the bus please remind your child/children of the following expectations:

  • Students must remain seated until the bus stops and it is safe to get up
  • Students should be seated properly with their back to the chair
  • Conversations should be kept to a respectful volume
  • Appropriate language should be used at all times
  • When chatting on the bus please ensure that your conversation topics are appropriate
  • Technology should be used appropriately and respectfully
  • Look out for the little ones and step in to help when appropriate
  • Report any misconduct, inappropriate behaviour and so on to classroom teachers
  • Be a good role model and represent your School proudly.

.b Mindfulness for Year 6

Mindfulness training continued this week with the Year 6 students and Kim Slender, our School Counsellor. Please encourage your child to share his/her learning with you at home on a regular basis.

 

 

From the Head of Jewish Life

Rabbi Daniel Siegel

Flawed perfection

From the beginning, the Biblical God seeks to create and maintain a perfect world.

The first humans find themselves in God’s idyllic Garden of Eden. But, they are soon expelled for not meeting the requirements of this perfect place. Not long thereafter all humanity, found wanting, is expunged in a flood. Following this “cleansing”, one people, from a single descendant of the lone family that is saved from this deluge, is chosen to realise God’s perfect plan and world.

But, in this week’s parashah, the tale of the Golden Calf, we learn that they too, we too, cannot be a people of perfection. When God declares He will now destroy these people, the Israelites, as well, and begin, yet again, on the path of perfection with a new people, Moshe responds: “Erase me (too) from Your book”.

We might understand Moshe as saying “none of us can be part of Your perfect narrative. Your idyllic world is idolatrous”.

In subsequently taking back “His” people and no longer disowning them as “your”/Moshe’s people (alone), God comes of age in this parashah. Plans of perfection, God recognises and our Bible here teaches, are intrinsically flawed. Ironically, Moshe is reminded of his insight here when, many years later, he is denied entry into the “promised land” because he can no longer suffer an imperfect people.

We learn from our tradition and experience that to be human is to fail. As educators and parents we stress that failure is a beginning rather than an end to success. Perseverance rather than perfection promotes growth and fulfilment of our personal promise.

“Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That is how the light gets in.”

Leonard Cohen

JNF Tu BiShvat seder

Yigal Nissel, the JNF Education Shaliach, ran an interactive Tu BiShvat seder experience for students in Years 1, 2 and 3. This provided students with the opportunity to learn about the JNF and its important environmental activities Israel, whilst learning about and tasting the seven species mentioned in the Torah. Todah Rabah Yigal for being part of our school learning community.

To make further connections between the themes of Tu BiShvat and our responsibilities and relationships to the environment, Year 2 students read the story of The Giving Tree and were then invited to draw their own giving trees, deciding what their tree would ‘give’. The students came up with beautiful and creative illustrations and ideas, including playgrounds for children, homes for animals, comfort, money, food and love.

ONStage

Samantha Bauer – Head of Drama

A night at the theatre…..

On Tuesday evening, Emanuel School Elective Drama students attended the Seymour Centre to view ONStage, a performance of exceptional works by HSC Drama students of 2018.

The showcase was filled with both humourous as well as some extremely provocative work. The students were entertained and inspired by these wonderful young performers and designers.

Thank you to all the students for being absolutely brilliant ambassadors for Emanuel School.

Kol Szenes

It has been a great first few weeks back at school and everyone has finally settled into their normal school routine. In this week’s Szenes article, we want to start by welcoming all the Year 7s and their new Tutor, Mr Gilhooly to Szenes House. We also congratulate Ms Minton on the birth of her baby girl named Frankie and Ms Reed on her recent marriage! We welcome Ms Norman who will be replacing Ms Minton’s Tutor class and Ms Starkey who is replacing Ms Clarke while they are on leave. 

Last Friday was the annual Swimming Carnival, where Szenes displayed great House spirit. Everyone had lots of fun and loved taking part in races whether it was for fun or because of their passion for swimming. The day started very cloudy but turned into a hot and sunny day where students even danced to ruach songs during breaks. Emanuel spirit is always great to see at annual carnivals. We may not have won the carnival, but we definitely proved that Szenes has the most House spirit of any other House! We also thank Mia Port and Erin Nabarro, our House Captains, for the hard work that they put into organising the day. 

Finally, Year 7 and 8 have just returned from camp, a time that I remember making lots of new friends and becoming closer with my Year Group as a whole. We hope they had lots of fun and we are all looking forward to hearing about their camp experiences.

The Way of Tea

Allison Lee | HSIE Teacher

The Way of the Tea: Year 12 Society and Culture 2019

Year 12 Society and Culture students attended an incursion on Friday 15 February to watch a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony (Chado or Way of the Tea) in the Urasenke tradition, presented by Ryoko Omachi, Wendy Lin, Mio Terasaki and Robert Davies.

The students have just completed the core unit, Social and Cultural Continuity and Change with the focus study being Japan. As part of this unit they have looked at Japanese traditional culture, gender roles and the status of men and women, as well as an exploration of the beliefs and values of this society. To further the students’ understanding of these values, roles and culture they listened to a presentation about the history of Chado and how it has changed and retained continuities over time.

Two lucky students, Saachi Owen and Charli Krite, were able to participate in the ceremony, guided by Wendy Lin as to the correct etiquette to exhibit during the procedure. The tea ceremony emphasises the principles of harmony, respect, purity and tranquillity, and ritualised movements within the procedure encapsulate these values. Afterwards all of the students, and our Principal, Andrew Watt, who attended the event, were invited to ask questions of our hosts, partake of the traditional sweets and tea, and try their hand at whisking the matcha tea itself.

Primary Fundraising

Chloe Biller – Year 6 Fundraising Leader

This year our students are encouraged to donate a coin every week at Shabbat. At the end of the Term the money will go towards the JNF (The Jewish National Fund).
    
The JNF was founded in 1901 and has become one of the most significant environmental organisations in the Middle East and beyond. The JNF is a non-profit organisation meaning the money they make goes towards the people and the community. We can help the JNF by raising money and awareness for their current projects.
 
As a school we have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment and support one of the oldest and most respected organisations. By making a small donation each week, together we can make a special contribution to society and the state of Israel. Our donations will go towards building communities in Israel’s south and vital environmental projects such as planting more trees.
 
Please help support this wonderful cause.

Careers

Claire Pech – Careers Advisor

This week during a visit at UNSW I learnt about all of the university’s new initiatives for 2019. A full transcript of my notes of the day are on the google doc below. It covers Law, Medicine, Industrial Design, Art and Design, Arts and Social Sciences to name a few.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/15vYd-wan9uVPH4Yh-vijpUJPFyZH1Rair3y22847nWg/edit

Below is a slide from the UNSW presentation and I love it! It highlights the real way careers tend to end up, and that it is non-linear, messy, complicated and individualised.

I shared this with the Year 12 group this week to highlight the concept.

We also had a representative from Bedford College to our Year 12s. I would encourage students to chat at home about what they learnt, the many paths that Bedford showcased and the ability for students to choose a 12-month diploma course. This then allows them direct entry into these main Universities and also credit for their first year, so students do not lose any time.

I also spoke about the other pathways on offer if the ATAR needed for a specific degree/course is not achieved. Some of my slides included:

  • UTS Insearch
  • Macquarie University International College
  • University of Western Sydney, The College
  • Bedford College.

The phrase “There are lots of paths to your dream destination” can be overused, but hopefully now students know exactly what this can look like. To see my presentation on some of these options click below:

Kornmehl

Terry Wizen – Director Kornmehl

Parent social evening

On Thursday night we shared a special evening with all our wonderful Kornmehl parents, who joined us for an interactive night of socialising, immersing ourselves in creative activities and learning about each group’s routine and program.

Parents and educators all enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate and it was also lovely to see parents meeting each other and having the chance to network and create connections. This building of relationships is at the forefront of our philosophy and ethos and we are extremely grateful to all those parents who came along to enjoy the evening.

Programs and documentation

It’s important for parents to know that the educators spend time each week in a team meeting, where the program for the week is discussed and planned, taking into consideration the interests of the children and the group. The needs of individual children are also discussed, and much time is spent reflecting and reviewing goals for each child as well as group dynamics.

The program is available for all parents to view next to the lockers for each group. Please feel free to contribute ideas to our program by writing on the parent feedback section of the program or discussing it with the educators or by writing on the Parent Contribution form on top of the lockers. We value your input and collaboration into our program.

The educators also have non-contact time off the floor each week. During this time they write up observations and reflections and post these on Educa for parents to read and enjoy. Educators also use this time to plan goals for each child as well as to write up documentation to make learning visible for parents.

Play-based learning

The following article was featured in theconversation.com and provides interesting information about play-based research, that lines itself closely with our philosophy at Kornmehl.

Research shows that play based learning enhances children’s academic and developmental learning outcomes. Children are naturally motivated to play. A play-based program builds on this motivation, using play as a context for learning. In this context, children can explore, experiment, discover and solve problems in imaginative and playful ways.

A play-based approach involves both child-initiated and educator-supported learning. The educator encourages children’s learning and inquiry through interactions that aim to stretch their thinking to higher levels. E.g. while children are playing with blocks, an educator can pose questions that encourage problem solving, prediction and hypothesising. They can also bring the child’s awareness towards mathematics, science and literacy concepts, allowing them to engage with such concepts through hands-on learning.

Play-based early years programs are focused on teaching and learning. In such programs, play can be in the form of free play (activity that is spontaneous and directed by the child), and guided play (also child-directed, but the educator is involved in the activity as a co-player) with intentional teaching. Both have benefits for children’s learning. To capitalise on these benefits, an optimum play-based program will provide opportunities for both free play and guided play.

Educators take an active role in guiding children’s interactions in the play. Children are supported in developing social skills such as cooperation, sharing and responding to ideas, negotiating, and resolving conflicts.

Educators can also use children’s motivation and interests to explore concepts and ideas. In this way, children acquire and practice important academic skills and learning in a playful context. For example, research indicates the increased complexity of language and learning processes used by children in play-based programs is linked to important literacy skills. Research shows play-based programs for young children can provide a strong basis for later success at school. They support the development of socially competent learners, able to face challenges and create solutions.

Connecting our Community – Gesher

Sonia Newell – Development Officer

Emanuel School is still a relatively young school compared to the many long-established schools around Sydney, some of which are 100 plus years old. However, we have a really strong history in our short 36 years since we opened in February 1983 with just 53 students in makeshift classrooms at Temple Emanuel Woollahra, now known as Emanuel Synagogue. Our very first-ever Year 12 graduating Year Group was the Class of 1989, with only 17 students who went on to complete Year 12 that year.  Alumna Lana Burdei, who has lived in London for many years, was visiting family and friends in Sydney over the summer holiday break and so it was an opportune time to hold this milestone 30-year reunion which she and Katie (Levenson) Narunsky so ably organised for last month.

Interestingly, four of their Year Group are now current parents – Janice (Narunsky) Christie, Claudia Maman, Katie (Levenson) Narunsky and Steven Vernik, and coincidentally, Janice, Katie and Steven each have one of their children in Year 5 this year.

Chris Lee travelled from Hong Kong for the reunion and everyone present had a wonderful time reminiscing about their school-days and life beyond. They also fondly remembered one of their class mates, Julian Bures, one of our very first students at the School starting here in 1983 as a Year 6 student, who sadly passed away in November 2013 after a long battle with MS.

As we head towards the end of February, our ongoing database updates continue, and we seek your help to ensure we have contact details for not just our parents but also for our grandparents. Please send grandparent email updates to: snewell@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au to ensure they receive invitations to various events throughout the year, and also so they receive our bi-annual Grandparents and Friends newsletters which are a great way to read about what’s happening at School no matter if you live around the corner from our campus or on the other side of the world.

Please join us on Sunday 10 March from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm for an afternoon of fun at our Family Barefoot Bowls. There is no age limit for this event and we’d love to see staff, parents, children and grandparents coming along for this fabulous afternoon on the bowling greens at Double Bay. Bookings are now open: https://tinyurl.com/GesherBowling

If you have photos and/or news to share, please send it to: snewell@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au

Friend-raising is our priority

The role of the P&F is to create a strong connection between the School and the Emanuel families. Our focus is on Friend-raising and fostering a strong sense of community. That being said, all of our events are fundraisers so we do hope to make money, all of which goes to that year’s P&F fundraising initiative.

Participate, participate, participate

The only way the P&F works is if we all get involved on some level. We know how busy everyone is but there are many different ways to participate. There are events throughout the year and we put out a callout before all of those looking for helpers. We also have a P&F meeting in the school boardroom at 7.00 pm on the first Tuesday of every month and everyone is welcome.

This year’s fundraising initiative: a new play area

There will be a number of events this year (Purim, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the Camping Trips). Our goal is to raise money to put towards a new play area for the students in Years 1-4.

Upcoming P&F fundraisers/events

Purim Disco

Our annual Purim Disco is always a highlight of the year for the kids and it’s a great way for the kids (and parents) to socialise and have fun. 

There will be a sausage sizzle and other yummy treats, music, games, activities and prizes for the best costume.

The date is Sunday 24 March from 4.00 pm – 6.00 pm.

P&F Camping Trip 

Booking is now open for the first Camping Trip of the year on the weekend of 15 March! This is always a wonderful chance for Emanuel families to bond.
