Gesher

Newell SoniaOh what a view!

We held our CBD networking breakfast on Wednesday morning in the Barangaroo Room on the 38th floor at the new KPMG Offices, Barangaroo. The view was captivating, as were all our speakers!

 Daniel Knoll, partner at KPMG, Gesher Chair and host for this event, started the session with a brief introduction, including a short history of Barangaroo.  The audience then heard from Anne Hastings about some innovative changes to the production of Ma Nishma and the development of a parent portal. Careers Advisor, Claire Pech, showed a short video of students and their thoughts on careers, followed by an informative presentation about her role and also about our recent 2016 E-Zone careers event.  It was great to see two of our E-Zone presenters, alum Kevin Jankelowitz and parent, Jason Schulz, at this networking breakfast.

 Year 11 students, Indigo Penn and Jordana Blackman, took time out of their study for examinations this week, to join us to talk about their experiences on March of the Living (MOTL) and Chavayah respectively.  How eloquently they spoke.  We really do have some amazing overseas opportunities and experiences for our senior students! See page 29 for information on March of the Living 2017.

 We would like to remind you about our Primary Grandparents and Friends Day on Friday 23 September.  Invitations have gone out to those grandparents on our database. Please help us keep this database up-to-date. If grandparents have not received the invitation, please pass the details on to them and also send their contact details to: snewell@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au  See the invitation on  page 31.
