Jazz on the Hill – Sunday 26 March 2017

We have some amazing supervised activities organised for the Years K to 6 children during the afternoon of this event, allowing parents to relax and enjoy good music and food.

Lego, craft-making, cartooning, a puppet show and a cool science show, not to mention dodge-ball and other games are in store for the children. We will be sending out further details soon so you can book your children into two of these activities.

We hope to see you, your friends and family at this special afternoon, showcasing some of the fabulous music talent in our School community.

Our Year 11 Hospitality students are really excited about preparing food for all to enjoy on the day.  Please support their efforts and enthusiasm for this, their first commissioned catering event. Watch this space for their menu and price-list, coming soon!

Grandparents committee

There is still an opportunity for interested grandparents to join this new venture. The Grandparents committee will be a group of grandparents of children of Emanuel School who will meet as often as required (probably about once per term) at the School. The purpose of the committee is to consider how to build the network of grandparents and help them feel more connected to the School. This may involve consideration of ways to enhance communication between the School and our grandparents, furthering our database of grandparent contacts, organising a grandparents’ event or advising/giving feedback on our current Grandparents’ Day. 

The Grandparents committee would be a sub-committee of Emanuel’s Gesher committee, which is the Board sub-committee charged with building bridges to the community, including alumni, parents, grandparents and friends. The remit of the Grandparents committee is not prescriptive – in fact if a committee came up with other ideas for engaging the grandparents’ community, the Gesher committee would be excited to hear them. The Chair of the Grandparents committee would be a member of the Gesher committee and would attend the Gesher meetings (six times per year). 

Please pass this information on to your children’s grandparents and ask them to contact me if they are interested in joining: snewell@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au
