Succot at Masada

Posted on by Jacqui Wong

From classes in the Succah to making Succot according to halacha to “hopping” to different Succot in our friends’ homes, here’s a little throwback to this year’s Succot activities at Masada College.

A big Toda Rabah to the special Masada families that opened their homes to our students.

Year 12 Valedictory Assembly/Graduation Dinner

Posted on by Jacqui Wong

Our Year 12 Valedictory Assembly and Dinner celebrates the journey and milestones of our Year 12 students. It was encouraging to hear the many tributes across the College from staff, students, guest speaker, Jonathan Rothenberg (ex-Masada student) and parents.  Our Year 12 students have achieved a great deal in their time at the College and they should all be commended on their significant contributions.

We wish our Year 12’s the best of luck in the lead up to their HSC examinations and of course in the next chapter of their lives beyond Masada.

Rosh Hashanah Assembly 2018

Posted on by Jacqui Wong

This year’s Junior School Rosh Hashanah assembly was all about personal change.
It began with students watching a video called the Chinese Bamboo which showed them that for the first five years after bamboo is planted, nothing happens as it is building its foundation under the ground. Then, in its 5th year, it shoots up very fast and tall, kind of like our students. 
Students then used blocks to demonstrate this message. Each student had to build a tower. The first student with one block, the second student with two blocks and so on.  Then, the tables were shaken and the students noted that the towers with more foundation blocks were still standing. Again, we saw that you need a strong foundations to make solid and lasting changes.
 
In the last experience, students made slime to show that is it never too late to change -you don’t have to think that you will live your whole life as glue, because with the right ingredients, you can blossom into an awesome slime.
 
Year 4 teacher Mrs. Nikki Grauman got this feedback from students:
“I learnt that like the slime experiment where you have to use all the ingredients to make something, we need to use all we have – all the good things around us – to make something work.”
“I felt that the Bamboo story connected with us because what we feel or work through inside ourselves doesn’t always show on the outside and we don’t always know what other people are working on or going through. We always need to be kind to others because we all have things we are trying to deal with or work through on the inside that may not be easy to see on the outside.”

Showcase 2018

Posted on by Jacqui Wong

WOW- are we proud!
From our annual HSC Hebrew and Extension English showcase, to the Stage 4 Mandatory Technology Showcase which debuted the Year 7 coding sessions (nice to also have our Year 4 students working with them), to our talented Year 8 and 11’s showcasing their culinary skills with some delicious food, to of course a smorgasboard of creative art works at our Visual Arts and Technology and Applied Studies Exhibition, our 2018 showcase was once again a massive success.
A special thanks to guest speaker Rebecca Gallo, freelance arts writer, artist and Masada Alumni.
