Ort Shlomi students finished a year of studies at the Gordon Academic Campus

The children of Israel recently went on summer vacation. Unlike previous years, many of them were evacuated due to the war and actually started the school year near their home and finished it elsewhere, while losing the sense of stability.

Ort Shlomi high school students, who were evacuated from Shlomi to various places (mainly throughout the north), finished the year at the Gordon Academic Campus for Education, which served for them and the teaching staff as a home for learning and teaching, allowing the community to remain united, come every day and maintain the school routine.

Ofir Glick:

Gordon served as a home for us. The students knew that there was a place that was open for them and they could go to it every day, which gave them a sense of stability at least in regards to studies. Moreover, not only the 150 boys benefited from the stability in Gordon but also their families and of course the faculty of teachers and educators. Hundreds of families sent their children every morning to an orderly and bright place with hope for stability and a feeling that life goes on.

Ofir Glick, the principal of the school, tells about the many difficulties the boys experienced after the evacuation. The main difficulty was the distance from home, but it was not the only challenge. With the outbreak of the war, a situation arose in which they had no framework, no physical place to learn and, in the case of the high school students, a way to prepare for the matriculation exams. The students were initially scattered in many different educational settings and there was a fear that they would not remain as one community.

Beginning with the Hanukkah holiday, high school students studied at the president's level and high school students at Gordon Academy. The pilot that began in the first semester was crowned with success and was expanded throughout the school year. The college opened its doors voluntarily and the Gordon faculty responded to the needs of 'Ort Shlomi'. The school's teaching staff also appreciated the possibility to continue teaching his students in one place.

Ort Shlomi faculty wrote at the end of the year:

A not easy year passed us by and Gordon opened his heart and the door of the college. They made it possible to fulfill the vision of the school which is first of all a home and gave stable ground while our world is shaking. The concern was for every detail from the smallest to the largest. Every employee brightened our faces and expressed genuine interest and concern for our safety and the safety of our students.

It should be noted that Academician Gordon has been embracing the Shlomi community since the day of the evacuation. From the very first day, in October, and for several weeks, the college team came to the hotels in the area to meet the small children (early and elementary age) and conduct several workshops in the field of technology, science and creativity, participated in planning experiential tours and more.

Later, the college held a colorful event on campus for the evacuees from the north and south (including Shlomi's children) which included food stalls, inflatable installations, sessions and a volunteer performance by the artist of the senses Shimi Atias. The older boys, as mentioned, studied on the college campus starting from the Hanukkah holiday until leaving for the holiday.

The management of the Gordon Academy thanks the Shlomi community for the opportunity to serve as a home for it during such a challenging time and wishes it and all of Israel good, peaceful and safe days.
