Community Connections – Gesher

Sonia Newell – Development Officer

Welcome to the new school year – we hope you had a relaxing break.

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the recent passing of a beloved member of our school community, Emanuel grandparent, Shula Endrey-Walder OAM. Shula was the CEO and Founder of GIFT OF LIFE AUSTRALIA www.giftoflifeaustralia.org.au 

She was a well-respected member of the Jewish and wider community especially for her work in promoting the bone marrow register to save lives both here and worldwide, and also for her work with genetic screening through Wolper Jewish Hospital for Tay-Sachs and others.

 

We wish her husband Peter, daughter Eva Novy and family “Long life”. May her memory be a blessing.

Shula with her grandson, Sasha Novy in Year 5.
