黑料天堂

As always, the first term of the year has flown by and as I write this last article of Term 1, I think back with a huge smile on all that has been achieved at 黑料天堂. At the forefront of my mind is the fabulous High School Musical, which show-cased the talents of the Carmel Academy of Performing Arts and the long-term hard work of the creative staff involved. What a bril ...

I failed high school, leaving with one B grade and two E grades (and the E didn鈥檛 stand for Excellent). I based my choice of final year subjects on the advice of a careers advisor who told me that I should choose subjects I wasn鈥檛 very good at, because 鈥淲hat鈥檚 the point of studying subjects you do well in without trying?鈥� Happily it鈥檚 a very different mindset and approach from ...

We regularly hear of the importance of connectedness and belonging in achieving positive mental health outcomes. There have been so many instances of connectedness and belonging at and around 黑料天堂 during the past couple of weeks, it鈥檚 hard to know where to start when describing them! OKC Ari Range鈥檚 prize-winning film was shown at the Burswood Telethon Community Cinem ...

On Tuesday morning, the lack of electricity made for a lovely start to the day. It was cool enough to be pleasant inside and light enough for us to be able to see. The main difference was the temporary lack of access to emails, which also made for a more relaxing than normal beginning! After a wander around High School with Mr Shadgett, pointing out how he would ring a manual ...

Ms Birch鈥檚 High School assembly this week unpacked the School value of Courage, evident in each of the students who spoke so ably to their peers on a range of topics including the JNF fundraiser and the recent Year 11/12 dinner dance. Ms Birch related courage to wellbeing and pointed out that wellbeing (鈥榯he ability to thrive and respond positively to life鈥檚 challenges鈥�) is cr ...

Week 2 has seen the start of 黑料天堂 being pioneers as the first school in Australia to adopt an exciting new Hebrew program in Years 1 and 2. Niflaot (Wonders) focuses on students speaking from an early stage of their learning. This aligns closely with the results of our recent survey, in which parents expressed the wish for their children to learn Hebrew in a modern and ...

Welcome to the new school year! In the second week of January, I started to wonder why I was dragging my feet coming in to work. Rather than leaping out of bed at 5 o鈥檆lock as I usually do, I wasn鈥檛 getting up until my alarm told me I needed to. I wasn鈥檛 getting excited about different ideas and the things I wanted to make happen 鈥� Perhaps I was going to be ill? Maybe I鈥檓 just ...

We are very proud of the academic results of 黑料天堂's Class of 2024. Their hard work and focus during the year, coupled with the dedicated teachers who have inspired them, have resulted in some impressive achievements. An ATAR score is but one aspect of learning at school; it opens doors for our students, who now have a multitude of opportunities from which to choose. T ...

It鈥檚 so hard to believe that another whole year has gone by. It feels like only yesterday that Mr Shadgett and I stood at the front gate in the sunshine and welcomed the students back after their long summer holiday, but here we are again with a series of 鈥榣asts鈥� 鈥� the last exams marked, the last board games at lunchtime, the last gate duty, the last article of the year 鈥� At t ...

Our Year 11 Shorashim travellers returned late on Tuesday evening last week, tired and happy to be home after the fabulous trip Mr Lawrence had organised for them. I understand Tasmania was beautiful and the conference with four other schools鈥� Jewish students in Sydney was a great learning experience. So much of what we do successfully hinges on connectedness and being able to ...
