Breakfast with Emanuel

We hope you will join us for one of our two Breakfast with Emanuel sessions next month, when you will hear about our plans to drive deep and authentic learning, whilst supporting and promoting the wellbeing of our students. These sessions are also a great opportunity to meet and chat with other parents over a light breakfast.

Please see details on the invitation below and RSVP by 7 June to: snewell@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au  

Friday Walk and Talk

One of our parents got in touch recently with a great idea for anyone who would like to join her on Friday mornings after school drop off…

Suzy Moss has suggested that Emanuel parents looking to walk around Centennial Park with company, join other parents on Friday mornings.

 

8.30 am: meet up at the Greenhouse Cafe (by the bike track), Centennial Park 

and/or

9.30 am: coffee for those interested (same cafe)             

Please note this is not officially organised by the School – call Suzy on 0409 932780 if you are interested or just come along.  All are welcome. 

JeneScreen

Research has shown that 1 in 40 people of Jewish ancestry carry a particular fault in the BRACA1 and BRACA2 genes, which means a higher risk of developing certain cancers.  JeneScreen is available to ALL members of the Jewish community free of charge.  You are invited to take advantage of this online screening via: https://www.genetics.wolper.com.au/brca  (see the poster below for more details.

Archibald Prize visit

Following on from the success of last year’s Gesher/Grandparents Committee special private tour of the Archibald Prize, we are planning an event to this year’s exhibition.  Watch this space for details.  Date to be advised.
