Colleen Elkins – Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator K-6

Our Primary A team played in the Eastern Suburbs Primary Schools Competition last Friday, which consisted of eight rounds of chess each. There were 31 teams and Emanuel A came in second. It was wonderful to watch such a young team participate so confidently and with such focus and drive. Well done to Daniel Zipser, Joshua Barnett and Gabriel Pozniak.

These students have been training hard and even coaching other students, allowing us to enter some students into a competition for the first time ever. Congratulations to the B Team on their efforts in the same competition (Ben Diamond, Max Tsipris and Alex Gellert).

We wish our Years 7-9 team well as they head to Mannix University in Melbourne to play in the National Inter-schools final from Sunday 2 December to Tuesday 4 December.
