The Caulfield Junior College Hebrew Immersion Program (HIP) began in 2001, initiated by a parent group. Today, a voluntary parent committee alongside an experienced Hebrew coordinator oversees the program.

Initially the program ran with approximately 20 children and today flourishes with nearly 100 children attending 3 mornings before school and is open to all Caulfield Junior College students. Our Hebrew Program caters for students from Prep to Grade 6 and all skill levels from beginners to native speakers. As of 2017, the administrative element of the program is facilitated by UJEB (United Jewish Education Board).

The Hebrew Immersion Program is a language based non-religious program that introduces cultural aspects by celebrating Jewish festivals. We celebrate the festivals with fun, educational and cultural activities with various youth movements during HIP class times as well as the wider Caulfield Junior College community, to foster appreciation for Jewish culture. The program is fortunate to enjoy strong support from Caulfield Junior College with a section of the school library dedicated to Hebrew language books.
