Eight Emanuel students who qualified through to represent CDSSA at the AICES (Association of Independent Co-educational Schools Association) Athletics Championships held at Sydney Olympic Athletics Centre, Homebush last week all put in a fabulous effort. Many Emanuel students who had qualified were unable to compete due to Year 11 examinations and the Year 10 Zionist camp.

The AICES Championships attract sixty-seven schools from eight associations with representatives coming from all over NSW, creating a very high level of competition.

Our students all performed well with outstanding performances from Danielle Rutstein achieving second place jumping 1.45m in the high jump and Oskar Beck throwing over 33 metres with the javelin. Both students have qualified to compete in the CIS (Combined Independent Schools) Championships to be held at Homebush.

Congratulations also to Jared Elbourne, Tia Mallinick, Alon Erez-Rein, Nathaniel Spielman, Gabriella Goodridge and Romi Lapidge whom competed admirably and displayed outstanding sportsmanship on the day.

 Mazal tov to all.
