Each year when the Aseret Hadibrot (the Ten Commandments) are read aloud
in Shule, I hear the words I know so well, turn to look at the congregation
surrounding me and think, ‘why does this moment seem so cosmic, so important
and so meaningful? Isn’t it after all, the same ritual of Kriat HaTorah that we
perform three times a week? Why is this so special? What gives it this magical
air?’. The answer of course lies in what’s behind this reading – it is our story, our
birth, our identity, our marriage contract, our ethos, our relationship with Hashem
and the moral fibre of our people. The giving of the Torah was our birth as a
nation.
It’s hard to tell sometimes when a people become a nation – much like the question posed to
our Year 10 students during a recent sprint discussion activity;
“When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
It was interesting to note the different responses we caught as we roamed past the groups;
“17” said one student, “when they make good choices” argued another. Other students
cited financial independence, completion of education, marriage, parenthood(!) or increased
responsibility.
Research shows that the journey to adulthood sees young people seeking identity, valued
relationships, a keen sense of purpose, empowerment, the experience of success, rigour in
their learning and a strong sense of safety.
In all areas of life and learning in Yavneh Secondary, we seek to meet these physical,

emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual needs of our students by helping them develop
agency in their learning, their practice of Yiddishkeit and in their interpersonal relationships
as contributors to the world around them.
In doing so, we strive that our Yavneh graduates will be – as our mission statement states
– of fine character, life-long independent learners who are committed to Torah and Mitzvot
while contributing to the world around them as proud Jews, Zionists, and Australians.
Over the past weeks, our students have been involved in learning and activities that
nurture them in all these areas of these needs. Our recent Year 9 and 10 Shabbaton saw
our students develop stronger bonds with their peers, and between the year levels while
experiencing pride in their Jewish identity, singing soul-stirring nigunim at a Tisch and
hearing their teachers’ insights on their own personal journey in Jewish commitment.
When coming together for whole-school Tefillah gatherings
to pray for our injured brethren in Meron or for the safety for
our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisrael after the recent rocket
attacks on our land, the students felt the unity and ties that bind
us to our land and our people, while feeling a keen sense of
purpose in their roles as Jews – supporting our land through
spiritual action – praying to Hashem for protection.
This week we welcomed our Year 6 parents and new families
at the Maavar Year 7 2022 Parent evening where families
had the opportunity to connect with staff in the Secondary
school and explore the Year 7 classroom experience. We heard
from a panel of current Year 7 students and College Captains
and it was special to hear the students speak about the deep
relationships that they have developed with their peers, their
teachers and with older students.
Our Year 7 and 9 students undertook NAPLAN assessments
this week, giving them yet another opportunity to demonstrate
their knowledge and feel the rigour of the challenge that
assessments provide.
Last week, our students had the opportunity to participate
in presentations by ySafe – Australia’s leading cybersafety
education provider, as well as RoadSmart by VicRoads (Year
10), Fit2Drive (Year 11) and Looking after our Mates (Year
12). These sessions and the ongoing discussion around issues
of wellbeing and safety contribute to young people having the
strong sense of safety that they need.
Our Year 9 students as part of the YOU Program provided
valuable contributions to local community organisations
Jewish Care and Jewish Children’s Aid Society (JCAS) through
volunteering at Gary Smorgon House and the Posh Opp
Shoppe. This empowerment and purpose to contribute are
cornerstones for the initiative that Gemilut Chesed requires.

WEEKLY DVAR TORAH - PARSHAT NASO
TAMARA GINZBURG, Head of Jewish Life Programs
Upon close examination of the word ‘Naso’, we see a verb
which holds an extraordinary range of meanings, including: to
lift, to carry, and to forgive. Rabbi Sacks z”l notes that the word
Naso is used in conjunction with the phrase ‘et rosh’, (which
directly translates to ‘the head’) meaning ‘to count’. This strikes
us as strange, as there are many verbs in Biblical Hebrew
which mean to count, including limnot, lispor, lifkod and
lachshov. This begs the question, why were one of these verbs
not used to simply say ‘count’ instead of ‘lift the head’? As we
know, the Torah does not waste words. Therefore, this specific
choice of word comes to teach us a lesson.
Aligned with the belief that we are created Betzelem Elokim,
in the image of G-d, is the idea that each one of us has infinite
value. Rabbi Sacks elucidates that “this may well be the single
most important consequence of monotheism. Discovering
G-d, singular and alone, our ancestors discovered the human
individual, singular and alone”. Underscoring this observation
is not simply how we see ourselves, but how we see and treat
others. Whilst it is important to recognise our own importance,
it is simultaneously imperative to make other people feel
important, to “lift the head” of others, and never let someone
feel that they are merely a number.
This idea is further reinforced when Hashem instructs Moshe
how to cleanse the camp of any contamination, stating איש אי–אשה כי יעשו מכל–חטאת האדם ואשמה When a man or woman commits any of the sins“ הנפש ההוא:
CONTINUED
On Yom Yerushalayim, our Year 12 Girls Ensemble and Band debuted with their song “Shabechi Yerushalayim” at our school
assembly. Their pride and excitement were palpable as the school jived along with their singing and music. This was yet another
experience of strong relationships, deep sense of identity and connection to our history.
Often, we are so busy ‘doing’– participating in programs, study, or work – and we don’t tap into what this activity is actually
providing us in our growth.
It’s important for us to explicitly discuss with our children the value of each element of their education, for them to have the insight
and appreciation of their learning and their experiences. When we take the time to ask our child about their recent learning,
participation in activities or what’s going on at school and point out why these experiences are valuable – we give them purpose,
connection, and passion for everything they’re doing. When we articulate to them our beliefs about learning and participation –
they gain deeper appreciate for the value of their learning.
Much like the Kriat HaTorah on Shavuot – the reading of the Aseret Hadibrot - we can see it face-value as a rote ritual - one
we perform so often. Or we can feel its cosmic significance. As we stand in silence just like our ancestors at Har Sinai; we are
recreating the story of our birth – realigning ourselves to our values, rededicating ourselves to our mission, renewing our vows
with our G-d.
Wishing you a Good Shabbos and Good Yom Tov!
against man to act treacherously against G-d, and that person
is found guilty”. The immediate equation of the sins of mankind
is למעל מעל בה׳ with transgression against G-d חטאת האדם
striking, as they are paralleled in this way to remind us that
they are the same. To sin against man is to transgress against
G-d. Our observance of mitvot bein adam l’chaveiro (between
man and his fellow) reflects our observance of mitzvot bein
adam l’makom (between man and his Creator). In this way, we
see that ‘our vertical connection is measured by our horizontal
relationships’.
This message is captured in the last word of the priestly
blessing that appears in this week’s parsha, stating
meaning “May Hashem raise ,ישא ה׳ פניו אליך וישם לך שלום
His countenance toward you and grant you peace”. Rabbi
Isaac Arama explains that “shalom does not mean merely the
absence of war or strife. It means completeness, perfection, the
harmonious working of a complex system, integrated diversity,
a state in which everything is in its proper place and all is at
one with the physical and ethical laws governing the universe”.
Parshat Naso, quite aptly, has a resounding message of peace
and how to fulfil our individual and communal role in bringing
about harmony. Amidst the turmoil in Israel, these messages
ring true and reverberate throughout our countries. May we
take the teachings of Parshat Naso and infuse our interactions
with kindness and respect. Shabbat Shalom

WINTER WONDERSCHARLENE ORWIN, Head of Yavneh Early Learning Centre
With the chill of winter settling in, it is timely to discuss the
importance of outdoor play. During the cooler months, it is
common for children to be restricted to indoor play at home,
and only permitted to play outdoors when it is warm and sunny.
Many parents fear that their children will not “like” being
outside in the cold, or that they will get sick from being outside
in the cold fresh air. For this reason, it is particularly important
that young children enjoy outdoor activities in their early
childhood education setting. Playing outside in winter presents
its own unique opportunities for exploration and learning.
Therefore, outdoor play should be embraced in all types of
weather, as it is crucial for children’s ongoing development.
At our ELC we are embracing the learning involved in seasonal
changes, winter awareness, scientific elements and we are
engaged in deep discussions around clothing changes, winter foods, nature changes and shorter days. All of our rooms are
making the most of the rich learning that “Winter” has to offer.
For infants and toddlers, the chance to experience the elements in the safe confines of warm clothes or snuggly blankets
and beanies, enhances their connections with nature and the environment. Free movement for young children brings joy and
stimulates a healthy appetite too! All this works towards supporting a strong sense of wellbeing. Younger children also need this
freedom to move about, feel the cold air on their cheeks, and create body warmth through stimulating physical activity. Children
should be given opportunities to enjoy the smells and visual changes in the environment. Children need to engage in experiences
that connect them to their world.
All children need to play outside every day, even in Winter. Going outside to run, jump, yell and wiggle gives children the chance
to use their large muscles and work off extra energy. Moving out into the fresh air is healthier for children than keeping them
inside a closed building where germs can spread easily.
Developmentally, playing outdoors has many benefits:
Physically: Playing outdoors in winter promotes physical development and well-being. This is because outdoor play encourages
the use of the whole body by offering a safe space to run, jump, and exercise key muscle groups. Through activities such as
riding tricycles and running, children increase their large muscle use. This increase in physical activity supports children’s gross
motor development and overall health. It is important that children remain active in the cooler months so that they continue to
build emerging skills that are crucial to their physical development.
Emotionally: Outdoor activities also promote emotional health benefits, such as self-confidence, and the ability to assess risks.
By encouraging outdoor play in the winter, children learn to identify hazards, such as slippery surfaces, and moderate their
behaviour to ensure their safety.
Socially: playing outdoors with others encourages social development and collaboration. This is because play teaches children
how to work together in groups, which includes learning to share, negotiate, and solve conflict. Social outdoor play also provides
children the opportunity to exercise and stretch their imaginations. In winter, the physical changes to the outdoor environment
provide children with new opportunities for socio-dramatic play, and winter-themed games.
So here at the Yavneh ELC we enjoy getting on our Winter woollies and opening a whole new winter wonderland for the children
we care for!!

YEAR 4 GENERAL STUDIES- WHO MAKES THE RULES?HELEN KRECHMAN, Primary General Studies Teacher, TERRY CROTHERS, Deputy Head of Primary and General Studies Teacher
In Year 4, the students have been learning about the three levels of government in Australia. They discussed the difference
between ‘laws’ and ‘rules’, focusing on and exploring the purpose of laws. In the process students recognised that laws apply to
everyone in society and that there are consequences when citizens break laws. Fairness of consequences was also explored, as
perceptions vary in relation to both laws and rules as applied within the school setting.
Students interviewed a senior member of their family, asking about rules that they had when they were a child. We were then able
to compare rules and consequences of today with those of the past, resulting in many interesting observations and conversations.
Of the three levels of government, local councils (Local Government Areas) became the focus of their research. Investigations
centred around what responsibilities LGAs must support their residents and community. An info-graph was created to highlight
the many services, support groups, and facilities that LGAs provide. Children accessed and developed a range of skills including,
listening, problem solving and organisation. Dispositions of persistence, curiosity, independence and being open-minded were
also developed in the process.

YEAR 4 JEWISH STUDIESMICHELLE SHARP, Primary Jewish Studies Teacher
The Year 4 students had a very enjoyable and inspiring Yom Yerushalayim. They
participated in the creation of the Yavneh Jerusalem Mosaic Project, created in honour of
Yom Yerushalayim by the students in Years 3-6. The students divided into six groups and
helped create a panel of the mosaic. It was an exciting project where the students, some
for the first time, learned how to work with glass to create a mosaic mural. They worked
beautifully as a group to help create a stunning piece of artwork expressing the special
connection, we the Jewish people, have with holy city of Jerusalem. This beautiful
mosaic will be permanently displayed in Hamakom.
In class, the students learned about how, on the 28th of Iyar in 1967 during the Six-Day War, Jerusalem was united under Israeli
rule. Israeli paratroopers defeated the Jordanian Legion and visibly moved, reached the Kotel. The students had the opportunity
to watch World Mizrachi’s newly released inspiring short video for Yom Yerushalayim entitled Jeruslem’s D-Day: When Heaven
Altered the Course of History. It gave them a comprehensive summary of the events of the Six-Day War and enabled them to
see what an incredible miracle it was. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to watch the video, here is the link:
Jerusalem's D-Day: When Heaven Altered the Course of History - YouTube
To help make Jerusalem more meaningful to our students, as part of our Israel Studies Unit, the students have been assigned
a variety of special places in Jerusalem to research. Some of the students are working in groups and some are working
independently. When they have completed their research, they will make presentations to the class. Some of the places that are
being researched include Yad Vashem, the Machane Yehuda Market, the Dome of the Rock, the Kotel, the King David Hotel, the

Biblical Zoo, the Hebrew University, and the Great Synagogue. We hope that the presentations will give the students a richer
understanding of what a special city Jerusalem is to the Jewish people and strengthen their ties to our holy capital city. May it be
speedily rebuilt in our time!

HOW DID IT START AND HOW ARE WE DOING SO FAR?
My teaching career started in America, while my husband was doing his post-doctoral
training at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. While he was busy
researching cancer, I embarked on my second career as a Hebrew teacher at Charles
E Smith Jewish Day School. For almost two decades, I have been actively involved in
teaching and the development of curricula for teaching Hebrew.
In Australia, Hebrew is taught as a foreign language. Our students learn Hebrew in
school but once the class is over, they are not immersed in the Hebrew language. This
is in contrast with studying Hebrew as second language where students continue to be
immersed in the language even when class ends. For example, ULPAN in Israel teaches
Hebrew as a second language. Our main goal in teaching Hebrew is to see students
using Hebrew in their everyday life, outside the classroom.
Four years ago, we decided on a new approach, teaching Hebrew in mixed-ability
classes and one advanced class. We started this in the primary school to cater for the
academic and wellbeing needs of our students. In the mixed-ability classes, the learning
focuses more on informal vocabulary and genres. Students are expected to write
personal letters and scripts of conversations to be acted out in class. In the advanced
class, teachers use a richer vocabulary and students are expected to use a more formal
register when writing, as well as speaking in a more sophisticated manner. Successful
participation in the advanced class is a steppingstone to studying Hebrew VCE.
New students who have little or no background in Hebrew use a special tailor-made
syllabus which helps them join the mixed-ability class as novices, hear Ivrit, follow
differentiated tasks and quickly become active members of the cohort. Additional
support is provided during their Jewish Studies lessons.
As our current year 6 students are about to graduate from Primary School, I would like
to share my insights into the successful experience from the past four years teaching
Hebrew in the mixed-ability and advanced classes.
1. Class Size Matters. The problem of unequal class sizes has been eliminated since
the inception of our approach.
2. Improved Marks. The Hebrew academic achievements of the cohort have improved since the implementation of the mixed-
ability classes.
3. In-Class Flexibility. Students do not have switch classes to find a suitable level. They can stay in their designated class,
while keeping open communication channels with their teachers who, in turn, can adjust and challenge them accordingly.
4. Improve Self-Esteem. Students learn well ONLY when they feel that others believe in their ability to learn. This proved difficult
in the C stream.
5. Late Bloomers. Students develop and excel at different ages and stages of life — they need the opportunity to prove
themselves to their teachers and peers.
6. Parents Push for Streaming. Students do not want to be streamed; their parents push for it. Students want to learn and
spend quality time with their friends.
7. Students Engagement and Attitude. Students who find the learning difficult are not necessarily the ones who misbehave

in class. Some capable students exhibit challenging attitude and behaviour. As
educators, we should instil respect and Derech Eretz in our students, no matter
how capable they are.
8. Consistency with other Subjects. Students learn English, Torah, History, Arts
and Sports in unstreamed classes, even though there are ability gaps amongst
them. They form meaningful relationships regardless of whether their peers are
capable than they are.
These overwhelmingly positive results in the Primary School paved the way for us
to introduce mixed-ability classes in the Secondary School as well. Learning in a
mixed-ability class enables students to progress to the advanced class. A month
ago, a student in Year 7 was approached by the Hebrew teacher who told her that
she has the ability and attitude to move to the advanced class and a week later she
moved classes. Similarly, two other students in year 6, moved to the advanced class
and seem happy and eager to work even harder. Students who may feel stress and
pressure in the advanced class are always welcome to move to the mixed-ability
class and report to their teachers regularly to ensure that their learning continues
according to expectation.
Finally, I know that some parents are thrilled about the idea of mixed-ability classes.
I am also aware that others are more concerned. I can reassure you that I work
closely with our teachers to ensure that they are able to set different goals, provide
differentiated tasks, actively monitor the progress of individual students, and cater
for the academic needs and wellbeing of the groups in class. Importantly, our
teachers maintain very close relationships with students, focusing on their learning
and wellbeing. In fact, a recent survey assessing satisfaction in class demonstrated
that most of our Yavneh students feel that they are challenged and supported by
their teachers. It was not surprising that most of them enjoy their speaking lessons
and want to spend more class time improving their ability to communicate in the
language.
I would like to wish all our Yavneh students continued success in Ivrit and warmly
welcome anyone in our school community to contact me for further information. I
would especially like to thank you, the parents, for supporting the Hebrew Team.
Learning is a never-ending journey, and we are happy to walk on this path together
and continue learning with you.

During Term 2 we designed and made our own garage, it
needed to be between 15-30 centimetres in length and in
width, 10 centimetres tall and had to have a ramp.
What was the most important thing to consider when
designing a garage?
Leib: The most important thing that was part of my teammate
(Elai Rabba) and my garage was the ramp and the support
beams, we made the ramp a spherical ramp, so it would wind
up to the second floor, we made the support beams so it would
hold up the second floor, the whole garage had to hold the
weight of a small book.
Elai: Well, if you ask me (and my partner of course (Leib
Sharp)) there are almost infinite answers but what appeals to
us the most are the support beams and the ramp.
• The Support beams: the reason behind these magnificent
beams is to hold up everything up together, it’s insane how
just a couple of beams can hold up huge buildings; like
the captain of a soccer team, he keeps a hold of the team
and keeps everyone together.
• The Ramp: it puts the building on a whole new level 😉,
not literally unless you want to wait 50 years until they
invent car elevators to take up your car up to the next level,
ramps create a bunch of more opportunities. Such as a
customer can be like “I wish I could go shopping at this
place but all of the parking spots are already taken, I guess
I will have to go shopping somewhere else for now” but if
that shop had a ramp which led to another level that shop
wouldn’t have lost a customer which is in other words a
loss of money; And that’s why I think for now, ramps are
the way to go.
Havah: The most important thing that we had to consider when
designing the garage was deciding which material would be
most affective to use to create a strong and sturdy structure.
Idan: The most important thing to consider when designing our
garage was, the budget because we only had $50 to spend on
materials and it was hard to fit all the materials we needed in
the budget.
Guy: I think that the most important thing to consider when designing my garage was the budget because we only had $50 (fake)
to spend on the equipment we need to build the garage. So, this also meant that we needed to think ahead and plan carefully if
something were to go wrong.

What was the most difficult thing about building the
garage?
Leib: The most difficult thing about building the garage would
have been getting the ramp to spiral up to the second floor,
it was difficult because it was not the right length and it kept
falling over.
Phoebe: The most difficult aspect of this project was keeping
everything stable and standing up especially the ramp because
its only holding up by tape, in the end it stood up.
Grant: The most difficult aspect of this project was getting
the cardboard to stick together as I think we used to much
masking tape with us also accidentally destroying the masking
tape. We had to make sure the cardboard was in line and also
had to make sure that our garage would be stable and not
collapse.
Idan: The most difficult aspect of this project was getting the
garage to stand and sticking the pieces together because the
cardboard pieces would not stick together, nor would the sticks
stand up straight.
Jess: The one thing I found most difficult in this project would
have to be making sure that the upper level would stay up and
hold both 5 mini cars and a small book because our resources
were limited.
What did you enjoy most about this project?
Leib: Elai and I enjoyed the experience of getting to spend
fake money on products to help build the garage. I find that the
most fun part if building the garage would have been when we
got to weigh them and to test how much it holds
Havah: The part that I enjoyed about this project was using my
creativity to make the best garage I could possibly make with
what I had and sharing my creativity with my friends.
Gideon: What I enjoyed about this project was that we worked
as a team to make our project work and not fall. We worked as
a team through the most stressful times and that’s what I think
got us to succeed in the project.
Phoebe: I enjoyed that it was our choice to how we build it and
how it looked and even though it didn’t look very good it was
very fun to make.
Grant: What I enjoyed about this project was working with
other people as I think our team worked very well with a
few mess ups at times. I also enjoyed doing the budget as
everyone had a say in what we should get, with us finally
Havah and Jess
Phoebe and Noa
agreeing with an idea. Overall, everything was great about it
and would do it again.
Idan: The thing I enjoyed the most was working together on
designs and building the garage because we got to build
things and experiment with all the materials and create new
things.
Jess: What I really enjoyed about this project would be the fact
that I could be creative in a learning space with my friends this
project was very fun and exciting.
Guy: I mainly enjoyed being with my friend because we kept
lifting each other up with new ideas which helped a lot because
sometimes one of us didn’t know what to do in a specific
situation, so the other person helped fix the situation. Which
worked every time which is the main reason, I enjoyed it the
most.

We know that the cost of Jewish education has become an increasing burden on parents who simply want the best for their children, which has caused hardship for many within our school community and affected both full-fee paying families and those on Fee Relief. As a leading Jewish day school, we pride ourselves on our belief that all Jewish children deserve access to a high-quality Jewish education, and we acknowledge the impact of the cost of education on our entire school community. That is why we have reviewed our current fee structure as part of our ongoing commitment to finding long-term and sustainable solutions to alleviate the fee burden on parents.

The Leibler Yavneh College (LYC) Fee Transformation Program is an innovative school fee program that provides greater financial choice for parents enabling all parents to positively enhance Jewish educational outcomes for all LYC students. The program allows parents to deposit 20% of their school fees up front, which will appear on the fee statement sent to parents. Parents will then have the option to either have the deposit wholly or partially refunded, or for the deposit to be applied as a tax-deductible charitable donation, with donations to be acknowledged on an honour board within the school grounds. HHooww ddooeess tthhee FFeeee TTrraannssffoorrmmaattiioonn PPrrooggrraamm wwoorrkk?? To ensure the program rollout is a success, the first phase of the program in 2021 will be rolled out to families of students in years 7-12, with a view to extending the program to all students and families in 2022. For families of students in years 7-12, a 20% fee deposit line will now appear on your term one fee statement, which is payable as soon as possible but no later than 14 May 2021. Up until 15 June 2021, families of students in years 7-12 will communicate to the College electing to either:
a) have the deposit wholly or partially refunded, or b) for the deposit to be transferred into a tax-deductible charitable donation, with donations to be
acknowledged on an honour board within the school grounds.
Regardless of the option chosen, this program will result in a substantial saving on school fees for all parents of students in Years 7-12.
