High School ESport and EActive news

Kristy Reed | Head of Sport | PDHPE Teacher

The Term 4 High School ESport program is already underway. This weekly competition sport program includes netball, basketball and touch football this term.

The netball tournament commenced this week at Heffron courts, Maroubra. These students, who are coached by our highly experience coach, Cathy Birrell-Evan from Randwick Netball Association, train each Wednesday morning and play on a Thursday evening. I wish these girls the best of luck in the season.

The Easts Basketball League competition commences this Sunday. We welcome new Emanuel coach, Indiana Faithfull, to our caching staff. Indiana brings a wealth of experience to the School basketball program, with a strong playing history in the National Basketball League. Indianna has also led school basketball programs in the Eastern Suburbs and has experience coaching high school students.

The Easts Touch competition commences next Tuesday afternoon. This weekly competition includes many of the local schools and has been a successful competition for a number of years. All Emanuel teams commence training next week, according to their team’s schedule.

If your child is taking part in any of these ESport activities, it is a requirement that they are registered prior to their first game. There is still limited availability in the Year 7 touch football teams. All registrations can be completed at this link:  http://www.trybooking.com/YJFS

It is also an expectation that students have the correct uniform. The onsite uniform shop has developed an excellent range of sports uniform and all uniform requirements can be accessed in the ESport information letter link:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IlfgDuaoTvTbS0fpTIXc_p3YjGAWAHZMBnlpDQnA_os/edit
