Teacher appointed new principal
After multiple rounds of interviews by the recruiters and a selection panel it was evident Zylberman was the best candidate.
The council of Sholem Aleichem College is excited to announce the appointment of Ms Reyzl Zylberman (pictured) as the school’s new principal, commencing at the end of term 3.
Marlow Recruiting was appointed to conduct an intensive principal search that sought out the best educational leaders from across Australia.
After multiple rounds of interviews by the recruiters and a selection panel it was evident Zylberman was the best candidate.
She impressed the selection panel and the council with her highly developed, insightful and exciting vision for the college.
Ultimately, it was Zylberman’s love of Jewish life, her demonstrated expertise, experience, dedication and innovative new ideas for the future that gave the council utmost confidence she is the outstanding choice to steer the college to continued success.
“It is a great honour for me to serve as the principal of Sholem Aleichem College,” Zylberman said.
“I am the beneficiary of the outstanding education that I received here, which not only instilled in me a love of learning, but also a love of Yiddish and Jewish life.
“I am proud to lead our college as we continue to nurture future generations.
“It is a particularly exciting time for our community as we look ahead to celebrating our 50th anniversary next year, building on the strong foundations established by those who came before us as we step boldly forward.”
In addition to her teaching expertise, Zylberman has completed a Master of Education (Leadership and Learning), with a focus on school administration and business processes.
She has proven herself a strategic leader with the ability to strengthen relationships with government and community stakeholders.
Zylberman has sophisticated appreciation of childhood development from the early years and into early adolescence, and she specialises in Yiddish, Hebrew and Jewish studies. Indeed, she is in demand as a Yiddish teacher with academic institutions around the world.
Outside the schoolyard she has demonstrated outstanding community leadership qualities and was named AFL Victoria Community Ambassador of the Year in 2017.
She is also the co-founder of Melbourne’s Yiddish choir, Mir Kumen On, and is active in Yiddish Australia, the Jewish Labour Bund, and the Penina Zylberman Yiddish Cultural and Educational Foundation Inc.
Zylberman will address the Sholem Aleichem College community on the evening of Thursday, August 8, where she will share her vision and practical action plan.
The council pays tribute to the outgoing principal, Ms Helen Greenberg for her 18 years leading the college with exceptional dedication and hard work, setting new standards of excellence both for the students and the staff.
