Connection to Israel and Zionism

Among the signs of 'success' at the school were said to be:

Our students have achieved academic success whilst being heavily involved in both the school and the wider community. Not only is one of the candidates Deputy Head Girl, she also ran the Israel Society, attended UJIA Israel advocacy courses, and is a Madricha in Bnei Akiva...

Hasmonean students contribute across the community. Four joined KEF on its recent respite trip, many more volunteer for Shabbat Walk and a selected group of Sixth Formers are part of the Mizrachi Yehudi programme, which sends students into primary schools to inspire the next generation in their love of Jewish Studies. Four students are also JNF ambassadors.

This success is all the more remarkable when seen against the backdrop of an intensive Jewish Studies programme which takes up a considerable percentage of the school day. This has resulted in admissions to some of the top Sems and Yeshivot in Israel, such as Michlala, MMY, HaRova and Midreshet Tehilla; while the boys are accepted to Toras Moshe, Reb Tzvi’s, Beis Yisroel, Hakotel and Keren B’Yavneh.

And:

Hasmonean Boys’ School had the pleasure of welcoming back many of their alumni to give small shiurim to the current Sixth Form. As part of the Beis Programme, 20 alumni who are currently studying in yeshivas in Israel prepared shiurim on the topic of Pesach. The Beis Hamedrash was crowded as the current Sixth Form boys were split among the various alumni to listen attentively to what they had to say. The content was superb, and the current boys really enjoyed seeing the progress of the alumni and what they had achieved. It was an empowering day for all and a real privilege to see a motivated responsible group of alumni who still feel connected to Hasmonean Beis and appreciative of all it has done for them.
