Sonia Newell – Development Officer

Book launch

It is no mean feat to write a book and have it published. Past parent Xanti Bootcov, whose two sons finished Year 12 here in 2013, has done just that with her book BUT THEY LOOK SO HAPPY (a mother’s journey to loving her sons). You can find her on: www.facebook.com/xantibootcovauthor

This is not the only Emanuel connection here – Xanti’s writing mentor, the well-known author and book publisher, Joanne Fedler, is also a past parent – her son, Aidan, finished Year 12 last year and currently coaches basketball at Emanuel.

Xanti invites us to her book launch on Sunday 18 November.  Please see invitation for details.

Alumni Pilot Program – can you help?

Are you a current employer who may have vacancies to offer? Would you be interested in helping out our Year 12s when they leave and/or other Emanuel alumni?

We are currently reviewing and gauging interest in a potential program.

If this is of interest to you, please get in touch: snewell@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au
