From the Parents and Friends

Ruby Berkovic and Jennifer Opit

Friend-raising is our priority

The role of the P&F is to create a strong connection between the School and the Emanuel families. Our focus is on Friend-raising and fostering a strong sense of community. That being said, all of our events are fundraisers so we do hope to make money, all of which goes to that year’s P&F fundraising initiative.

Participate, participate, participate

The only way the P&F works is if we all get involved on some level. We know how busy everyone is but there are many different ways to participate. There are events throughout the year and we put out a callout before all of those looking for helpers. We also have a P&F meeting in the school boardroom at 7.00 pm on the first Tuesday of every month and everyone is welcome.

This year’s fundraising initiative: a new play area

There will be a number of events this year (Purim, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the Camping Trips). Our goal is to raise money to put towards a new play area for the students in Years 1-4.

Upcoming P&F fundraisers/events

Purim Disco

Our annual Purim Disco is always a highlight of the year for the kids and it’s a great way for the kids (and parents) to socialise and have fun. 

There will be a sausage sizzle and other yummy treats, music, games, activities and prizes for the best costume.

The date is Sunday 24 March from 4.00 pm – 6.00 pm.
