Congratulations to Georgia Kahane and Zac Greenberg who recently represented the CDSSA at the AICES Opens Basketball Championships at Hills Stadium. These students were selected earlier in the term at CDSSA trials for these representative teams.

The boys CDSSA boys team performed exceptionally well in what is a very strong competition. Finishing second in their pool, they played NASSA and won by five points in what was an exciting match. CDSSA then progressed to the final of the tournament but were defeated by a well organised HRIS team. Well done to Zac, who played very well throughout the day.

The Emanuel Firsts basketball team played against Cranbrook in a friendly match last Thursday at Cranbrook School. Congratulations to Greg Allen, Jared Elbourne, Oliver Evans, Zac Greenberg, Matthew Joffe, Noah Klein, Jesse Koslowski, Ariel Odes and Ben Shapiro who all played well against a classy team. This Emanuel team continues to improve in all aspects of the game under the guidance of Emanuel coach, Indiana Faithfull.

Earlier this week, the annual Years 7/8 Jewish Day Schools Basketball Gala Day was once again convened by Emanuel. The event was an excellent display of the high level of interest in this sport. Congratulations to Ruby Brody, Ruby Grynberg, Lucy Klein, Romy McCorquodale, Lucia Meyer and Brooke Rosen who progressed to the final.

Finally, well done to the Years 7/8 girls basketball team competing in the weekly Sydney Schools Cup tournament. This team is so far undefeated this term. I wish them the best of luck as they continue to work towards the finals.
