Learn2Rescue – Nov 2021

/in , /by

The Learn2Rescue programme (2021) has now begun. We have over 20 Year 12 students taking part in the session.

All students will attend four after school sessions (2 hours each) and receive a First Aid qualification at the end of the course. Part of the course also includes students delivering their own training sessions to lower school students. This will be part of a future Enrichment programme in 2022.

We are so grateful to Daniel Morris for giving up his time to deliver these sessions and offer such a worthwhile opportunity for our students.

We are so grateful to Mr Dowden for giving up his time to come to speak to us today and it was a really fantastic event.

AJEX Parade 2021

/in , , /by

On Sunday 21st November a number of Sixth Form students participated in the annual AJEX ceremony. The parade started at 13.30 at the Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall. The students held a banner identifying the school and marched in honour and memory of all Jewish men and women who have served this country, and of the victims of the Holocaust. The parade also serves as an important reminder of the extraordinary service given to this country by British Jews since the 1750s and we are proud that Yavneh College students were a part of this event.

As part of Mitzvah Day this year Yavneh College sixth formers volunteered outside local shops encouraging shoppers to donate food to the Jewish food bank charity GIFT.

We had many students volunteering in different locations across Borehamwood and Radlett.

Members of staff from GIFT were amazed by the student’s attitude to helping others and commented what an enormous credit they were to the school.
