Endowed in 1997, through the generosity of Judy and Leon Goldman in honour of Betty and Shmuel Rosenkranz who devoted themselves with intellect, integrity and commitment, to the development of so many communal organisations for over 60 years.
The Rosenkranz Centre for Excellence and Achievement in Education in honour of Betty & Shmuel Rosenkranz. The Rosenkranz Centre for Excellence and Achievement in Education has been established at Bialik College in honour of Betty and Shmuel Rosenkranz. The Rosenkranz Centre is the focus of the College's activities in maintaining a continuing series of diverse enrichment and extension programs for students of kindergarten to Year 12. The programs and initiatives of the Rosenkranz Centre supplement the curriculum of the College and provide opportunities for children with high abilities. Students are encouraged to develop high level thinking and research skills, to participate in open debate and to show an active commitment to communal responsibilities. The activities of the Centre are aimed at educating young people towards excellence and personal achievement whilst at the same time shaping them as involved citizens with a strong sense of values and ethics: The College gratefully acknowledges the support of Leon & Judy Goldman, whose very generous endowment has made possible the establishment of the Rosenkranz Centre.
