The Harris Post - Term 3, Week 4
A debate entirely in Hebrew? Really? That was surely an invitation that I couldn鈥檛 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鈥檚 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 ...

Louis enjoys work experience at IKEA
Year 11 student, Louis has recently embarked on a new work placement at IKEA. You can read all about his first day in his recount provided below. Great job Louis - we are so proud of you!听 On Tuesday the 19th of July 2022 I started my work experience at IKEA in Innaloo. First at 9:30am, Grandpa Adam dropped me off at IKEA. I met Kazie there. We scanned in and went in the lift ...

The Harris Post from Israel, VII - Jerusalem to Be'er Sheva and then home
Our last day in Jerusalem gave us a choice of tours 鈥 I took the walking tour of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. Our guide had been brought up in Jerusalem and we walked through various suburbs hearing the stories of his life and who lived where. We ended up at his sister鈥檚 house and enjoyed a surprise feast with the family. Later in the day we visited Ammunition Hill and t ...

The Harris Post from Israel VI - Masada and the Dead Sea
Sitting in the comfort of an air-conditioned bus is, I have discovered, a fabulous place from which to watch the ever-changing scenery as it passes by. As we drove south, the countryside gradually became drier and more barren; by the time we neared Masada, it was quite a lunar landscape 鈥揝outhern Israel鈥檚 Judean Desert. There are allegedly nine Hebrew words for desert and this ...

The Harris Post from Israel V - Yad Vashem and Jerusalem
Waking up to a spectacular sunrise in Jerusalem isn鈥檛 something that everybody is fortunate enough to enjoy and the view from my hotel window was breathtaking. The day centred around our visit to Yad Vashem, the renowned Holocaust Memorial Centre and after our obligatory group photograph, I noticed that, our group was much quieter than normal (we have been a fairly noisy group ...

The Harris Post from Israel IV - Golan Heights, Tsfat, Julis
I would hazard to guess that not many people can say that they started their day with a pleasant swim in the Sea of Galilee, but that is what I did. Having reconciled in my mind the fact that it may be called a Sea but is actually a freshwater lake, it made for a lovely dip and many people in the group took advantage of this cooling start to the day. Driving through the Golan ...

The Harris Post from Israel III - Tiberius
When travelling, I鈥檓 always fascinated by people鈥檚 different habits. Various trip members chose to start their days in very different ways in Tiberius 鈥 unfortunately, the divine-looking swimming pool was out of bounds until the lifeguard arrived at 9am which was far too late for us, but that didn鈥檛 stop people finding other things to do before breakfast. Some needed a sleep-in ...

The Harris Post from Israel II - Tel Aviv
Armed with a large paper map kindly provided by the hotel, I set off into the early morning city of Tel Aviv. The end of term back at school had been frantic, and this was one trip where I had uncharacteristically not done much pre-reading, so I wasn鈥檛 sure what to expect. I discovered over night that the hot sand on the beach must have been hotter than I had realised and the f ...
