Connecting with Israeli students from the Gaza frontier

Selected Year 10 and 11 students travelled to the Brighton Bathing Boxes toward the end of Term 3 to meet visiting Israeli students from the Gaza frontier area, who were brought here by the Y2A organisation. This mifgash (encounter) included a welcome by KDS students, icebreaker discussions on life in Australia and Israel, and on Jewish identity. This was followed by a game of cricket and a kick of the footy, before finishing off with introducing our guests to cheesy vegemite scrolls, lamingtons, and salt and vinegar chips. Kol haKavod to our students who represented the school truly admirably! 

Activities like this promote Jewish peoplehood and enhance student engagement with Israel.
