Yavneh girls celebrated Chanuka with a fun filled party on Monday night. After enjoying their pizza and chips the girls competed in a scavenger hunt and activities with great prizes. The theme was 'Chanuka' organised by Dalya Smith and Dalia Kreike with help from the rest of the sixth form.
The event culminated with a doughnut making demo led by Debra Kaye of ' In the kitchen with Debra'. The girls went home with a selection of fresh and crispy homemade doughnuts.

Year 9 YG ran a bake sale in aid of GIFT on Sunday, raising £700.

The money will go to help needy families in the community. Yavneh Girls Sixth Form have recently returned from a five-day trip to Poland. They visited the camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, Belzec and Plaszow to understand the horrors of the Shoah and paid their respects at mass graves in Josefow and Zbylitowska Góra. They learned in the famed Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, Davened at the Graves of the Noam Elimelech and Izhbitzer, and spent a beautiful Shabbos in Krakow where they Davened Mincha in the Rema’s Shul, toured the ancient Jewish city and visited the Sarah Schenirer’s Beis Yaakov school and her memorial on the edge of the Plazsow Camp. The trip was led by Rabbi Chaim Cohen and Mrs. Lani Eshel in conjunction with JRoots.

Whilst in Poland they have reflected on their journey through a unique Photography Reflections Project with Mr.Leventhall, Head of History. "Student photographic and written reflections provide a unique insight understanding and reveal the depths and pride our students have in their Jewish and community identities." This is the fifth year students have participated in this project. Their responses can be viewed online in the document attached and in the main school foyer exhibition area. Well done all.
