Yeshivah - Beth Rivkah Colleges EOFY Covid-19 Crisis Appeal

“If there is one single factor within our control that can directly influence who we are as a people, it is education” – The Rebbe

Dear Friends,

In mid-March some tough decisions had to be made in order to keep our community safe. Yeshivah Beth Rivkah was at the forefront at a time when there was a lot of uncertainty and we had to completely change our model of teaching within one week.

Over the past 3 months our school faculty has worked tremendously hard in continuing to educate and uplift our children. 

We thank the Government for all their help during this time, however unfortunately even with all their support we are still feeling the financial strain. 

When free childcare was introduced by the Federal Government in April our Gurewicz Early Learning Centre was running at a loss of over $10,000 per day! 

In keeping with Government’s regulations and for the safety and well being of our students and staff our cleaning and sanitising costs have also increased quite significantly.

There has been a significant number of families who have been hit hard and have reached out to us for help due to a change in their financial situation.  We are determined to not leave any child behind in receiving a quality Yeshivah- Beth Rivkah education and aim to continue to provide this in a warm, nurturing and inclusive environment.

We are forever grateful to all our donors and supporters and thank them for their generosity.

As we head to the end of the financial year there will be some of you who will still be able to give, and if you can we ask you to please dig deep to help our families through these trying times. Thank you so much for your support!

Wishing you all continued health and safety,
