HEBREW teacher at Masada College Adi Halevi has been recognised for her contribution by receiving the Outstanding Language Educator Award for 2022 from the Modern Languages Teachers Association of NSW (MLTANSW).

The award recognises contributions to high-quality teaching and learning of languages in schools.

Halevi has been teaching Hebrew at Masada College for 21 years and leads an exemplary languages faculty at the College.

“Adi is admired by students, parents and staff for her devotion and ability to engage students in Hebrew, with many of Adi’s HSC students achieving a band 6 in Modern and Classical Hebrew as well as First in Subject,” said Masada College principal Mira Hasofer.

“Adi goes above and beyond to support Masada students, volunteering many outside school hours to help students reach their potential.”

Halevi is currently working hard with the year 12 Modern Hebrew class in preparation for their HSC and with the accelerated year 10 Modern Hebrew class, who will sit their HSC in year 11.

She said she is immensely honoured to receive the award and thanks Masada College for supporting her teaching ideas.

“Hebrew is much more than a language to me, the lashon hakodesh is a means of building a closer relationship with Israel,” she said.

“Every time I enter the classroom, I give the students a taste of Israel and I am so proud when they continue to be Israeli ambassadors long after they finish school.”

The Masada community proudly applauds this well-deserved recognition of outstanding contribution to teaching.
