We pray that this be the case and our thoughts and prayers go out to all those effected across the globe from all manner of loss and harm this past year. The military conflict in Israel ...

The Harris Post - Term 3, Week 9
As we near the end of the term, students and teachers are tired but working hard until the very end. As I write this post, the Year 12 students are immersed in their exams and many other students are working towards their final assessments before the holidays. The announcement of next Thursday’s unexpected public holiday resulted in a sleepless night for me, as I realised ther ...

The Harris Post - Term 3, Week 8
It has been a very busy couple of weeks for me and although not managing to write my post did lead to various personal guilt issues, I was gratified that several people noticed and asked why I had failed them in this respect. Having thought that my mum and sister were the only people who actually read it, it was pleasing to learn that this is not the case. My recent trip to Me ...

The Harris Post, Term 3, Week 5 - Security
I had occasion to think deeply about security this week, when the School Community Security Group (CSG) forwarded an article on the topic to me. The recent tensions in Israel meant that those who keep us safe at ͵Ƶ were considering and discussing measures to ensure that we continue to enjoy the freedoms we are accustomed to in Perth.

The Harris Post - Term 3, Week 4
A debate entirely in Hebrew? Really? That was surely an invitation that I couldn’t resist! I have worked in many excellent schools and enjoyed many, varied activities outside the classroom, but I have never heard students debate in a language other than English. Listening to Thursday night’s Hebrew debating brought home the great strides our students make in learning the langua ...

The Harris Post - Term 3, Week 2
It was back to earth with a rather large bump for me, last week. The excitement and fabulousness of my study tour of Israel ended somewhat abruptly, with the home journey involving three days stuck in Turkey (flight arrangements seem to be all over the place at the moment), a suitcase which found it a challenge to travel on the same planes as me and a very exciting trip on a sp ...
