As the museum in Darlinghurst is being renovated, we relocated to the Central Synagogue in Bondi Junction. As a result, the girls got to experience a day of Jewish history, culture and faith in a beautiful building and serene environment. The excursion is a Year 10 tradition and supports their learning in genocide studies in History and Judaism in Religious Education (RE).<\/p>\n<p>We heard the stories of two Holocaust survivors, and the girls had the opportunity to ask questions about their journeys of trauma, survival and life in Australia. In our image this week, Group 1 are shown listening to Dr Richard Huber, who was only six years old when his life changed forever and he was transported to a ghetto in Krakow. His story of survival included luck but was mostly due to the actions of others who stood up and risked their lives to save him and his family. After the talk, the girls had a tour of the beautiful synagogue and a workshop on key artefacts from the museum collection. The girls asked excellent questions and engaged in all aspects of the program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upcoming Date<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday 10 June 2026 \u2013 Year 10 Parent\/Teacher Interview and Subject Selection Evening, 4pm\u20137pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please read full information about Year 10 Subject Selection in the Head of Learning and Teaching article by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/mlc\/?post_type=article&amp;p=45311\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clicking here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Further information and booking details will be shared soon.<\/p>\n<p>For academic concerns, please contact your daughter\u2019s class teacher.
