Waking up to a spectacular sunrise in Jerusalem isn’t something that everybody is fortunate enough to enjoy and the view from my hotel window was breathtaking. The day centred around our visit to Yad Vashem, the renowned Holocaust Memorial Centre and after our obligatory group photograph, I noticed that, our group was much quieter than normal (we have been a fairly noisy group ...

I would hazard to guess that not many people can say that they started their day with a pleasant swim in the Sea of Galilee, but that is what I did. Having reconciled in my mind the fact that it may be called a Sea but is actually a freshwater lake, it made for a lovely dip and many people in the group took advantage of this cooling start to the day. Driving through the Golan ...

When travelling, I’m always fascinated by people’s different habits. Various trip members chose to start their days in very different ways in Tiberius – unfortunately, the divine-looking swimming pool was out of bounds until the lifeguard arrived at 9am which was far too late for us, but that didn’t stop people finding other things to do before breakfast. Some needed a sleep-in ...

Armed with a large paper map kindly provided by the hotel, I set off into the early morning city of Tel Aviv. The end of term back at school had been frantic, and this was one trip where I had uncharacteristically not done much pre-reading, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I discovered over night that the hot sand on the beach must have been hotter than I had realised and the f ...

It’s all very well knowing intellectually that Israel is a long way away from Perth, but it takes the physical experience of the journey to help comprehend just how far away it is. I’d learnt in the past week that Israel fits into Tasmania three times, so it had to be a really tiny country, considering the size of Tassie – a little dot on the bottom right-hand side of the map o ...

Year 10 student Naomi K presented a speech on the topic of gratitude and is looking forward to progressing onto the final stage of the competition in Sydney. Mikolot is a Public Speaking Competition for secondary level students, bringing Australian ...

As we near the end of Term 2 and reach the halfway mark of 2022, I wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on my time so far at ¼«Æ··´²îæ». This time next week, I am lucky enough to be travelling to Israel with the JNF Educators’ tour, so this will be the final Perth-based Harris Post of the semester. We have had a hugely busy term. COVID finally hit ¼«Æ··´²îæ» during ...

For me, books are really special things. They hold memories, they help us learn and they enable some of us with overactive thoughts to switch our minds off, just occasionally. When they were little, my children weren’t allowed in the car without a book and, for long trips, it had to be a whole box full. It was the only way to guarantee peace for at least part of the journey and ...

Thank you all for attending the 2022 AGM for ¼«Æ··´²îæ» and its associated entity. You have done yourself, your family and our community a great service by investing your time to be more connected and engaged with Our School. I will start tonight by introducing my fellow board members and a few the School’s Senior Leaders, who will wave or stand when their name is mentioned ...
