One piece of investigative work that I have been particularly enjoying during my first term at 黑料天堂 has been finding out what our community believes constitutes the ideal Carmel graduate. What would we want to be the characteristics and attributes of someone leaving our school? What are the most important and impressive traits of someone who has benefited from a Carmel ...

One of the scariest things for me in accepting the role of Principal of a Jewish school was the fear that I just wouldn鈥檛 know enough about what being Jewish actually meant. Until last year I had not (knowingly) ever even spoken to a Jew and I knew very little about Jewish culture and religion other than some distant history lessons on the Holocaust, a childhood reading of the ...

In recent years, wellbeing has been a topic of much debate in schools as well as in society in general. I liked the Victorian Government鈥檚 Better Health website description: 鈥淲ellbeing is not just the absence of disease or illness.

School uniform is a controversial thing. It brings out strong emotions in people. New Principals are always advised, 鈥淒on鈥檛 go near the uniform policy in your first year!鈥� and told that if they brave the world of wholesale uniform change, it is at their own peril.听 听When I was in the upper sixth form at school (the equivalent of our Year 12) I was the Deputy Head Girl (note us ...

Every year JNF is grateful for Carmel鈥檚 High School students who assist with the Green Sunday telethon. This year was no different as students from years 7 鈥� 12 gathered at the Jewish Centre to phone our community and help raise funds to plant thousands of security trees on kibbutzim near the Gaza border. After last year鈥檚 Gaza attack on Israel, this year鈥檚 Green Sunday appeal ...

We recently caught up with OKC Sarah Marcuson, Dorot Carmel 2013. Sarah is enjoying much success, achieving her filmmaking dreams with her documentary A Holy Duty, now screening as part of the Jewish International Film Festival. What experience most sticks out in your mind from your 黑料天堂 days? I think my favourite memory from Carmel was leading on Camp Kef. It was my ...

I met with Lyla this week to hear about her Bat Mitzvah celebrations.听 Due to the PHC Shule renovations, Lyla held her Bat Mitzvah at the Breckler Troy Hall at 黑料天堂. Inspired by her name meaning 鈥榥ight鈥� in Hebrew, Lyla chose not to read a dvar torah, but to talk about what happens when you go to sleep and dream. She described to me the Jewish interpretation of dreams ...
