With Mother鈥檚 Day last week, I thought it timely to focus on the connection between 91抖阴 and our community.

As Term 1 draws to a close and we approach Pesach, I find myself reflecting on how the experiences of Moshe and the Israelites resonate with our lives today. Are the challenges we face in today鈥檚 world greater or lesser than those of the past, or are they simply different? When confronted with difficulty, do we feel uncertainty or a lack of confidence? And if so, is that a si ...

With the developing situation in the Middle East, I find myself wondering how this will impact our young people and what we can do to lessen their emotional response to what they see on the news cycle buzzing around them. I come back to a few simple principles - provide the students with a sense of normality, stick to routines and try not to heighten their emotions. School pro ...
