"I am forever grateful for my time and education at King David. I only arrived there late - almost at the end of Standard 9, following my science teacher Mrs Levinson after she left Northview High School and moved to King David Linksfield. My life changed immediately. I was enamored by the supportive culture at the school, immediate acceptance by the pupils and excellent teaching by the teachers. KDHS cemented for me the importance of Jewish culture, which has remained a central beacon in my life. Elliot Wolf remained a constant guide during my time there, and we kept in touch regularly until his passing".
