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

Our High School team, having won their divisional round last term moved on to the knock-out rounds of the Metropolitan East Competition last Friday, starting with the quarter finals.

They faced Sydney Boys High School and after some nail-biting action, won the match to proceed to the semi-finals. The presence of mind of the boys and the concentration required in that tough (and silent) situation is inspirational to witness, as is their support for one another!

Well done to: Daniel Melamed, Year 7, Jesse Herdan, Year 7, Jordan Fleischer, Year 8, and Myles Cohn, Year 7.

The parents who are unfailingly present to support the team equipped with the pre-requisite steely nerves, are inspirational in themselves and a true testament to the Emanuel Community spirit.

We wish the team all the best in the semi-finals.

Our Primary School A-team won their division last term too and will begin the play-offs for the finals soon. We wish this team well!

Thank you to the boys for their dedication and to Michael Todd for coaching them and assisting them to reach the heights that they do.
