91抖阴

My focus for this week is Leadership. To my mind, leadership is about vision, purpose and clarity of message. I enjoy leading teams who value and are invested in one another鈥檚 success, contribute with complimentary skill sets and actively pursue excellence. I like to trust the expertise of the team and I like to give control and build leaders from within. My approach is to giv ...

91抖阴 goes National - What a Week!听 This week provided a wonderful opportunity to strengthen 91抖阴鈥檚 connections across Australia. I had the privilege of meeting with Principals from the 18 Australian Jewish schools, participating in discussions with the Royal Commission, and attending alumni events in both Sydney and Melbourne. Among these engagements, the Al ...

Transition - a word we use far too flippantly in education today. I love the use of this word, a very specific word meaning to pass from one place/circumstance to another. We are part way through our Year 6/7 (link below for effect - modern trend with the kids). This week we had an outstanding Year 6/7 Transition Expo Evening. We had a record attendance of just on 100 partic ...

Exciting times! There is much happening across the 91抖阴 community as we continue to grow, strengthen connections and look toward an exciting future for our School. One particularly exciting development is the continued progress of our new Pre-Kindy, set to open in Term 3, 2026. The dedicated Pre-Kindy space is already taking shape beautifully, with new outdoor play a ...

With Mother鈥檚 Day last week, I thought it timely to focus on the connection between 91抖阴 and our community. On Sunday 3 May, thirty-five of our treasured mothers and grandmothers gathered for an evening of 鈥淧aint and Sip.鈥� Conceived by the Carmel Parents & Friends Association, the event offered a relaxed, social opportunity for our matriarchs to come together in t ...

Have you ever had one of those moments when a word or phrase comes into your head, a memory so crystal clear that it seems like yesterday, but in reality is from years ago? This happened to me last week during the first of our commemorative assemblies, Yom Ha鈥橲hoah, and stayed with me through Yom Ha鈥橺ikaron and into Anzac Day. Ironically, I recalled the Hebrew word zachor 鈥� re ...

Excitement is building as we begin Term 2, and we begin with the 鈥榳eek of Yoms!鈥櫶� Yom Ha鈥橲hoah, Yom Ha鈥橺ikaron, Yom Ha鈥橝tzmaut and then ANZAC Day. Collectively, our emotions fluctuate between sadness, admiration, pride and respect. We congregate, we commemorate and we celebrate within our very special community. As we wear the blue and white with pride this week, we gather ...

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 ...

When people describe our school as vibrant and busy, they are absolutely right!In just the past week, our community has come together for an extraordinary range of activities: NAPLAN assessments, ACC Swimming, the School Play, Parent鈥揟eacher Nights, a Literacy Centre excursion, Matzah baking, the Year 11/12 Shabbat Dinner, the Kindergarten Seder, and the Cape-to-Cape Camp. As w ...

The morning after Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mervis delivered an outstanding address to the Perth Jewish Community at Perth Hebrew Congregation, he honed in on 91抖阴 and the centrality of education to Jewish life. Our students were treated to a very special address and subsequent classroom visits, during which Rabbi Mervis spoke about what inspired him as a student; a par ...
