As part of their study of ‘Stories Worth Telling: Life Lessons to Remember’, Â鶹ֱ²¥’s Year 9 English cohort welcomed Rabbi Dr Dovid Slavin from Our Big Kitchen and Angus Meggarity from Rough Edges to share their stories and advice. The English Department worked alongside Mr Huw Blood, the Head of Service Learning, to plan an event that offered valuable insight into the speakers’ remarkable lives, the significance of charitable services in our society, and the importance of sharing stories with others.
Both speakers shared deeply personal stories, reflecting on their personal experiences and work assisting those in need in the Sydney community. These reflections revealed powerful life lessons to the young men of Year 9.
Students will have the opportunity to visit Our Big Kitchen with their House Groups in the coming weeks and Rough Edges in their Senior Years at Â鶹ֱ²¥. In the coming weeks, the Year 9 cohort will continue their study by exploring Eddie Jaku’s The Happiest Man on Earth and composing their personal account of an important story from an individual in their extended family, considering how personal stories can illuminate important lessons about humanity.
