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 ...

Teamwork is all about collaborating and co-operating with others to work towards a common goal. It may not be difficult to define, but it is one of those hard-to-measure skills regularly described as essential for an effective workplace. Many schools include teamwork as a focus for development in their students and in the workplace, employers see it as a highly desirable attrib ...

Every year JNF is grateful for Carmel鈥檚 High School students who assist with the Green Sunday telethon.

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 91抖阴. 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 ...

I was very pleased to meet Kamali, the first bat mitzvah student I have had the opportunity to meet and chat to about their experience. As well as all the reading about Judaism that I have been enjoying, being able to talk to students about this special rite of passage was an excellent learning opportunity for me. I learnt about how Kamali will need to act in a slightly more ma ...

School is all about boundaries. In fact I am so old that I have realised that life is actually all about boundaries. I am regularly amused when students leave school at the end of Year 12 and return, some months later, to report that they are surprised that there are actually more rules and boundaries and restrictions in their subsequent places of work or study than they ever e ...

For example, our entrepreneurship program is well-known in the education community; I learnt al ...
