On Wednesday morning, eager parents and students arrived bright and early to our refreshed and renewed premises for a promising start to the 2015-16 school year. The wider hallways, brighter colour scheme, windowed doors. new lockers and renovated bathrooms in the primary wing were a welcome surprise for all. These changes are all in anticipation of the opening of our expanded campus next September. For those of you who have not yet seen the renovations, see the photo collage below.

There are many people to thank for their Herculean efforts to get the school ready in time for Wednesday's opening. Our facilities and operations manager, Sydney Antao, and his custodial team of Lito, Rose, Amador, Jaime, Pedro and Fermin worked night and day cleaning, organizing and moving to prepare the school. Our administrative team of Tammy, Debbie, Lihe and Natalie worked through many unexpected transitions during the summer and kept the office running despite the surprises. Our IT team of Marko and Boaz had the challenging task of managing and re-imaging 250 computers and laptops and a bank of 60 iPads, in addition to all the networking issues. This is an impressive accomplishment in the hands of only two individuals. Of course, most of our faculty came in weeks ahead of the start of school to organize, set up and decorate their classrooms as well as put the finishing touches on their lessons plans. Yishar Ko'ach to all involved in preparing Talmud Torah for opening day 2015!


Wider, brighter, cleaner and more colourful--what's not to like?
