Many things happening...

Just before the Spring Holidays we had a few days of fun. We had Crazy Hair Day, Hats-and-sunglasses day and Pajama Day. Photos can be seen on our website.


Since returning from Spring Holidays there has been a lot going on in our little school. Grade 10, 11 and 12 pupils have started their final external exams. We wish them all the best and may they sow what they reap! We have had various trips and activities enjoyed by many of our pupils including grade 6 and 7 meeting up with grade 7 pupils from the Ramat Ha'chayal school from Tel Aviv, where they participated in music, sport and Hip Hop lessons together.

Grade 3 experienced a great trip to Jaffa today. The following is from a letter sent to the grade 3 parents today by their class teacher:

We had a terrific day today in Jaffa.  With Mr Glick guiding us, we learnt a lot about Old Jaffa.  We began the day at the clock tower then made our way to the American Colony to see the only remaining house made of wood.  We then saw some very old photos of Jaffa shown on a projector which was more than 100 years old.  The children had a great time with Johan’s father at his church.  They heard the organ and even got a chance to ring the Church Bells!  We enjoyed a break by the old train station and then ended the day at Jaffa port, enjoying a boat ride on the Mediterranean Sea! The children even had the opportunity to steer the boat!

Thank you to Finat’s mother and Liam’s father for coming with us today. Thank you to Johan’s Mother and Father for welcoming us into their Church.

I had a great day and am very proud of the Grade 3 class for behaving beautifully the entire day.
