Newspaper article "Education In Jewish Manner" published in The News, 28 March 1969. "'The Samuel and Margaret Wynn House' a new classroom block at Bialik College was officially opened on Sunday (March 23) by Mr. Sam Wynn. Mr. Wynn said most of the people attending were parents and grandparents of children at the school. "I envy you" he said "in that you have the opportunity to give your children their education in a proper Jewish manner. "When my children were small there was nothing at all in Melbourne to give them the spirit and knowledge of Judaism. At the time I was struggling to establish a business and had no time though I had the knowledge to teach them. Mr. Israel Kipen, College President, said the function was the third of its kind in three years. In 1963 Bialik opened as a day school; 1966 marked the Dora Cukier memorial and now the first permanent four-classroom wing was being opened. The college in a short time has achieved so much - it has a fine reputation in the community and two hundred students. CONCERNS ALL: Mr. Kipen said it was a proud moment not only for the school but for the entire Jewish community as the opening of every classroom no matter which school is a simcha. Mr. Walter Jona MLA said he was happy that the College was in his electorate and of the fine reputation it has acquired. Mr. Maurice Ashkanasy, QC, vice-president of the Executive Council of Australian Judaism congratulated Bialik College on its progress. He said in Jewish tradition that there should be some diversity in education "for out of diversity grows strength of the Jewish people".Mr. A. Feiglin, Principal of Mount Scopus College, said that when it comes to Jewish education "we make no differentiation between schools". It is a great tragedy he said, that so few people attend a function like this. Unfortunately the community in general does not have a great interest in Jewish education. Mr. J. Solvey Bialik College Appeal President said the school is a pioneer - it was the first school to teach recent Jewish History, to teach Hebrew as a modern language and to introduce the Sephardi pronunciation. Mr. Moshe Meretz, College Principal, said Judaism is more than a religion - it is a way of life a school of thought and culture. This is what the college sets out to teach, he said."shakespeare grove, hebrew school, judaism, major donors, building
