Thought for the Day The Light of childrens words and wisdom

We believe that the pages within reflect, not only the College motto, Chochma U'musar which translates to Wisdom and Ethics, but also the wisdom of the Jewish people dating back many thousands of years. In the busy 21st Century is it easy to be caught up in the rush of everyday existence and depend on modern technology and forms of instant communication. So we invite you to take time away from your computer and phone, forget the present, relax with a cup of tea or coffee, meditate on the sentiments presented, enjoy the artwork and take in pleasure in the children's original drawings. The answer to many of today's problems will be found in such moments of quiet contemplation. The children have taken great delight in choosing and illustrating a proverb or saying, and their interpretations represent the innocence of childhood, which is preserved in our small multi age school with a community sharing a common faith and desire to teach students the "way to go." The whole community works together at Sinai to train up each child, and our view of education extends beyond the present, and beyond the school gate. May our book be a reminder of the wisdom of the past, the basis of schooling at Sinai, and treasured gift from the children at Sinai College. Beverley Bartlett - Principal Sinai College
