Outstanding Results for Emanuel School eSports Team

On Thursday 8 June 2023, eight students from Years 6 and 8 travelled to St Luke’s Grammar School in Dee Why to produce remarkable results in the Fuse Cup competition. Students in the eSports team have demonstrated tremendous talent and spirit, competing against students from other schools in the exhilarating game of Mario Kart.

A very special mention must go to Micah Esra (Year 8) for his extraordinary performance. Micah has done us proud by making it to the Grand Final, finishing as the fourth-best player in the entire state of New South Wales. Considering the high level of competition and the significant number of participants from all across the state, this is indeed a marvellous achievement that deserves great recognition. This triumph is a testament to Micah’s dedication, skill, and the countless hours of training invested. Despite the intense pressure of the final, he demonstrated not just his gaming skills but also sportsmanship and resilience.

Congratulations to Max Elias (Year 8) who won the Fuse Cup Integrity Award for sportsmanship amongst all of the 56 competitors. Well done Max!

Emanuel School’s participation in the Fuse Cup represents a broader initiative to encourage our students’ passions and interests beyond traditional educational boundaries. The field of eSports has shown considerable growth, providing potential pathways for professional development and fostering valuable skills such as strategic thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving.

We would also like to appreciate the efforts of all other participants who represented Emanuel School in the tournament. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and team spirit are truly inspirational. You’ve represented our school with dignity, and we’re proud of your achievements. Parents, your unwavering support and encouragement have played a crucial role in our students’ success. We thank you for fostering a supportive environment that allows our students to explore their interests and reach new heights.

We look forward to continuing to grow the eSports competition through our afternoon club.

Please see the Extra Curricular link on the portal for more information on how your child can get involved. Next term we move onto Rocket League where we will be competing on Thursday 17 August 2023 back at St Luke’s.
