Even during the school holidays, our KD community keeps coming together. Sukkot parties across the grades have brought teachers and students together to celebrate, connect and fulfil the mitzvot of the chag. This is Jewish life at KD – shared, lived and celebrated together. Chag Sukkot Sameach!

Tishrei is the start of our Jewish year. It is a month when we are given many opportunities to connect and be inspired. This Tishrei, under the banner of Jewish Life at King David Schools, the Dije and PJ Library created a walk-through learning experience of the story of Yona.

On Yom Kippur, we read the story of Yona, a story that many believe is simply about a man and a giant fish. Through this experience, students had the opportunity not only to hear the narrative, but to walk through the journey in Yona’s footsteps.

We are incredibly proud of alumnus Geoff Levy AO (KDVP 1976), who was named the recipient of the 2026 Presidential Global Leadership Award by the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.

This prestigious honour recognises Geoff’s outstanding lifelong contribution to sport and the global Jewish community, including his leadership in rugby, his involvement with Maccabi sport, his support for Israel and Jewish sporting initiatives, and his significant philanthropic and cultural contributions.

Geoff founded and funded the Munich Olympic Memorial at Sydney Olympic Park, the first permanent Olympic site memorial dedicated to the Israeli athletes murdered at the 1972 Munich Games. He was also the Attaché to the South African Olympic team, including accompanying President Mandela in Sydney, and introducing him to the team in the Olympic Village.

From his days at KDVP to his remarkable leadership on the world stage, Geoff’s journey reflects the values of leadership, service, achievement and giving back, synonymous with a King David education.
