What an amazing school

On Wednesday morning we held our Bondi Junction Breakfast with Emanuel, attended by over 20 parents.  A huge thank you to Liz Kollias, Director of The Little Space, for providing the venue for this event.  Following a light breakfast the audience heard an update from Anne Hastings about the new building, followed by a most enlightening presentation from Kim Slender, our School Counsellor, about our .b mindfulness program.  Margaret Lowe, Deputy Principal then spoke about the wellbeing programs in High School and finally Max Woolf and Yael Grunseit, our Head Madrichim, spoke about what they have gained and learned from being at Emanuel School.  The audience was mesmerised by these eloquent speakers – what a great forum at which to hear about some of the amazing things happening at school, as well as the opportunity to meet and chat with other parents.

On Wednesday 24 May we have our second Breakfast with Emanuel session for this term, in the CBD, at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
