Our Program
Academic
The Ohel Chana study program consists of a full daily schedule with 8 hours of classes Monday through Thursday, half-day Friday and evening classes on Sunday. Classes are taught by our team of dedicated and experienced teachers who seek to imbue the students with a love for learning and yiras shamayim, a strong connection to the Rebbe, whilst at the same time, preparing them for life into adulthood.
Our programs are designed to stretch and expand our students’ thinking. Students grow “mechayil el chayil” and are then ready to take the next step in life. Evening programs include regular farbrengens and voluntary shiurim. During out-of-learning hours, students may relax with gym and sport activities. As girls are completing their academic schooling and are preparing to go out into the world of shlichus we have additional programs to help prepare them. These include mivtzoim, shlichus preparation courses and teacher training sessions. Shabbatons, excursions and other exciting activities are also part of the program.

Shlichus/Hafotzah Work
Ohel Chana is under the auspices of Chabad Institutions of Australia Inc, commonly known as the Yeshivah Centre, one of the largest, most respected Jewish organisations in Australia. The Yeshivah provides a wide range of services to the Jewish and broader communities including comprehensive educational, welfare, social and cultural activities and services. It includes Chabad Youth which is a vibrant community based organisation committed to providing the highest quality range of religious, educational, social, recreational and cultural services and programs to all Jewish youth. It aims to cater to the vast needs and interests of primary, secondary and tertiary aged students and the wider Jewish Melbourne community.
Inclusiveness
Ohel Chana is part of the Melbourne Jewish Community which is renown for its warmth. Students are welcomed by the community and soon form strong friendships with many individuals and families. This gives the students a sense of unity and belonging. Expanding the spiritual growth and real experience of the students, preparing for their future shlichus, the students have the opportunity to become involved in a range of Hafotzah and Shlichus activities:
