Hi Everyone,

We can’t believe we are already halfway through November.

Camping trip

Last weekend, a large and enthusiastic group of Emanuel Families went camping at Cattai National Park. The Camping weekends are a highlight of the year and an amazing chance for families to relax and bond. As always, a huge thank you goes out to the fantastic Lindi Bloch for all her hard work in organising such a wonderful weekend! 

Here are some photos:

Here are some reflections from happy campers:

“This is an unique and truly welcoming community and this is our second camp and we wouldn’t have missed it after the previous one. Thanks to all of you for the warmth and generosity – it makes for such a great weekend away for all”.

“The sense of community was palpable. Can’t wait for the next one and a huge thanks to everyone involved.”

Toffee, Lily and Matilda

“It was wonderful and special to see the kids having such a ball and integrating with Emanuel School families in such a unique way. “

Gary and Jacquie

“Thanks everyone for an amazing weekend. The kids seriously loved it.”

“Special thanks to the community of wonderful caring and hospitable individuals (parents and kids) who assisted me with my lot as I was flying solo. It was really a village atmosphere. It was a really beautiful time away and introduction to the school community. I just wanted to pass on a huge thank you to you and the rest of the team for organising such a fun and memorable weekend. We had a ball! Being new to Emanuel, it’s also refreshing to meet such a friendly and welcoming group of families.  I’m already looking forward to the next school camping trip!”

Uniform Shop

There are plenty of great-quality, second hand uniforms available at the Uniform Shop if you are looking for items! Now is the perfect time to stock up!

Group Together

It is that time of year where we are all organising presents. The Emanuel P&F has entered into a partnership with GroupTogether to use their system at a discounted rate and it is available to all of you.

It’s too easy to use the Emanuel promotional code on GroupTogether.  Once you click the big blue Get Started button, you will be asked a few simple questions (what would you like to call the collection, do you want to include a charity, how much would you like friends to contribute). The next question applies to who pays the fees. Please click the circle by Promo Code and tap in Emanuel2018.  That’s it – the code has been entered for the collection and the reduced fees will be calculated (instead of the usual charges of 4% + $0.25 per collection, the special rate for Emanuel Families is 1.2% + $0.20). If you have any questions or issues, please email Julie at help@grouptogether.com.

Enjoy the weekend,

Jen & Ruby
