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’s 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–Teacher Nights, a Literacy Centre excursion, Matzah baking, the Year 11/12 Shabbat Dinner, the Kindergarten Seder, and the Cape-to-Cape Camp.

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 ¼«Æ··´²îæ» 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 ...

Students enjoyed celebrating Purim last week. There were plenty of outrageous coloured costumes across Kindergarten to Year 12. I really enjoyed seeing the creations which had been made at home; simple, thoughtful and innovative! Students also enjoyed the opportunity to hear the Megillah Reading, the plays, the entertainment and the food! A terrific day and a great antidote ...

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 ...

Our parent support was terrific, particularly in the morning session. A special thanks to those who participated in ...

Think back to the excitement of your School Dinner Dance, Ball or first Formal Event; how exciting it was. For our Year 11 and 12 students they were glammed up, looking fabulous and ready to party last Sunday night. It was terrific to see the camaraderie amongst the students, everyone was included and this made for such a special event. The outfits ranged from elegant to extr ...

Words that you would not expect to come from the principal – ‘School is not all about the students’! On Sunday 8 February, ¼«Æ··´²îæ» welcomed our community of parents and caregivers to join us for our first ¼«Æ··´²îæ» Sundowner. This event was designed to help parents engage with ¼«Æ··´²îæ» and, importantly, with one another in a purely social environment, with drink ...

Teachers have been preparing for their classes, ground-staff have been completing a list of upgrades to facilities and our administrative teams have been completing the systems and processes necessary to give the students the very best of starts to the 2026 school year. What I am particularly excited abo ...

During this last month, I received the usual number of emails and communication that one would expect as a Principal. Whilst many of them are ‘business as usual’, three made a significant impression on me. Each was unsolicited and each was a heartwarming observation of our ¼«Æ··´²îæ» students doing great things beyond the school gates.The first was a personal visit from Mrs ...
