Remember September 2019

As we now come to the end of October, we want to thank our Community for your support of alumnus Ben Wilheim (Class of 2008) who, together with family and friends, is raising awareness and funds for the fight to cure pancreatic cancer. This year’s campaign raised over $54,000 taking the total to over $230,000 since 2014 rememberseptember.gofundraise.com.au/ 

It Takes a Village

This truly inspirational documentary about our very own Genna Radnan, alumna and Emanuel School Nurse and her charity, Gennarosity Abroad premiered on ABC Compass last Sunday evening. Perhaps you are not aware of the other Emanuel School connections in this documentary – Producer Judy Menczel is a past parent and Music Composer Sam Weiss is an alumnus (Class of 2012). If you missed the program, you can watch it on ABC iview. You can also attend the fundraiser here at School this Sunday. Tickets and details: www.gennarosityabroad.org/events

Sculpture by the Sea 2019

The Bondi to Bronte walk gets hectic this time of year with this amazing exhibition of world-class sculptures along the route of our famous local coastline. As you will have read in Andrew Watt’s report, this year’s exhibition is extra special for us as alumnus Joel Adler (Class of 2011) has had one of his sculptures, “Viewpoint” selected to exhibit. Look out for sculpture number 23 and hopefully you will also be able to chat with Joel alongside his masterpiece. 

Joel was the designer of our beautiful staff recognition tree located in the lobby of our Administration Building.
