25.01.2022 What is something you could do to strengthen your Jewish Identity in the coming year? #JewishIdentity #ChodeshElul #Elul5780 #Gettingthroughthistogether

25.01.2022 In preparation for #MitzvahDay on Sunday, our Prep and Year 1 Students picked flowers from the garden and filled some small vases to deliver to local neighbours. They also made Shabbat Shalom cards and Happy Weekend cards, and set off in their small groups to bring a smile to the faces of some of the locals. #CommunityandService #MitzvahDay2020 #JewishIdentity #shabbatshalom

24.01.2022 Our Year 6 Students conversed in Hebrew with Israeli Year 6 Students from various schools. Upon hearing about the current situation in Melbourne, the students from schools in Ramat Gan, Jerusalem, Leshem and Kiryat shmona were eager to lend their help and support.

23.01.2022 After learning about homelessness during Community Service lessons, the Year 8 cohort participated in a workshop run by Madelyn Jones and Gali Blacher, the founders of The Good Box. @thegoodboxenterprise is a social enterprise that creates and distributes care packages to people who are homeless. Madelyn and Gali developedtheir businessin order to provide a platform for people who wanted to help homeless people, but were unsure if giving money was the best option. Madelyn ...and Gali enlightened students with the facts and figures regarding homelessness in Australia. They also shared the power and importance of face to face communication. Boxes are given to recipientsby a member of The Good Box team with a handwritten message. Both these elements aimingto improve the morale of the recipient, who may be feeling isolated from the community. The workshop ended with students writing letters that will accompany boxes that will go out to people in need. #CommunityandService #Gettingthroughthistogether

21.01.2022 Join us this Sunday for a live virtual Senior School Soirée!

21.01.2022 Last week our Year 7 Students travelled back in time to ancient Egypt. Students dressed up in a touch of Egypt and participated in a wide range of activities including fruit mummification, Masterchef - Ancient Egypt, replicating Rosetta Stone creations, engineering ancient water clocks and participating in an Egyptian makeup tutorial. Favourites were the 'Who wants to be a Pharaoh' trivia quiz game and the Papyrus Making Masterclass. Students also completed challenges on their own or in small groups throughout the day, such as creating model pyramids and pharaoh's crowns, calculating Ancient Egyptian algebra and writing messages in hieroglyphs. The day was an engaging way to consolidate their learning in Humanities, while having some great fun. #ExcellenceinLearning #Gettingthroughthistogether

18.01.2022 As we begin the book of Exodus (Shmos) there are some big changes occuring in ancient Egypt on a political and cultural level. What does that have to do with life as we know it today? Rabbi Shamir explains that this cautionary tale is a lesson on how we allow fear to dictate how we treat others. #shabbatshalom #JewishIdentity #torah #Gettingthroughthistogether

16.01.2022 This special ScopusTorah@Home is written by Judaic Studies Curriculum Director, Amanda Castelan-Starr. 'This Shabbat is my husband and I’s 19th wedding anniversary and I am in shock at the number of years that have passed. It’s also the 2nd anniversary of my son’s barmitzvah and I find myself intricately connected to Parshat Vayetze, re-reading and revisiting it with different lenses. On this Parsha, in Essays on Ethics Rabbi Sacks declares Love is not enough. He writes:...Continue reading
