Dear Parents/Carers, In this week’s parsha, Yisro, the concept of freedom is celebrated. Interestingly, this freedom is a result of the Torah being given, rather than the freedom following the exodus from Egypt. Many of the commentators discuss this shift in the concept of freedom: this is not freedom from oppression but a different kind […]
The H.I.P.E team created the most fantastic Tu B’Shevat initiative on Monday which they named #ijuiced4jews. The event opened with an inspirational talk about gratitude and giving, in order to focus the students on the ideas of the day. Afterwards, each girl was supplied with her own squeezer and bottle for a mass orange juicing […]
A Tu B’Shevat to remember! We had a Cereal Killer Cafe which explored the different Shivas Haminim. 4 hours of cutting fruit and it was gone in a flash! It was a fantastic event which really celebrated healthy eating in a fun way.
On Wednesday 12th January, nearly 60 Year 7 boys were rewarded for attending the D.A.Y.S morning minyan every day for the whole Autumn Term. They went to Flip Out, Brent Cross to enjoy a jolly morning of bouncing and jumping, accompanied by Rabbi Fachler (the D.A.Y.S co-ordinator) and the Minyan Monitors from the upper years. […]
Dear Parent, Klal Yisroel find themselves in dire straits in this week’s parsha. Trapped between the Egyptian army in hot pursuit and the deep blue sea, they cry out to Hashem.

The recent Girls’ School football match against St James Catholic School started off like a table tennis match: 1-0 to them, then an equaliser, followed by 2:1 to Hasmo. Another equaliser from SJC, another goal from Hasmo and SJC equalised again! The intensity increased and SJC started mastering their substitutions. Our Year 7 team of […]

From the superb casting to the exciting ensemble and the phenomenal dancers- everything about this evening’s performance […]
