High School Jewish Life

At Moriah College, Jewish Life & Learning is not just a curriculum component; it’s a core value that shapes our entire community. We celebrate a diverse array of Jewish programs that connect us to our rich history and heritage, actively engaging in rituals and commemorations that reinforce our ethos and core values.

Jewish Studies
Our comprehensive Jewish programs emphasise the traditions, Torah, mitzvot, history, ethics, Hebrew, and love for Israel. We strive to deepen students' intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and social connections to their heritage, fostering a strong Jewish identity as proud Jewish Australians.

In our High School, we have integrated Jewish Studies and Jewish History into a cohesive subject. This evolution allows us to meet the dynamic needs of our students, ensuring they learn not only about our past but also how it relates to their lives today. Each year group and term is dedicated to interconnected topics that explore Jewish identity and our role in the modern world, providing a clear educational path that highlights the continuity of Jewish education at Moriah.

Mikolot International Jewish Public Speaking Competition
An international platform, Mikolot hones students' public speaking skills and promotes collaboration among Jewish students worldwide, empowering them to express their voices and participate in gap year programs in Israel.

Dr. Hans Kimmel Memorial Essay Project
This project invites Year 10 students to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their families, and the broader Jewish community, enriching their personal and communal narratives.

Bitachon Program
Bitachon, meaning "confidence," is a Year 11 program designed to empower students to articulate their pride in Israel. In an era where anti-Zionism can disguise itself as antisemitism, this program equips students with the knowledge and skills to confidently engage in difficult conversations about Israel. Our aim is to ensure that Moriah graduates can represent a positive narrative about Israel, countering negativity and standing proudly for their heritage.
