This term Emanuel is competing in the Sydney School Basketball competition. This is a weekly competition held each Tuesday afternoon. This week produced some excellent results, with both the boys and girls team winning matches. The boys were comfortable winners over both Moriah and Kesser Torah College, whilst the girls won in a great game against International Grammar School. Good luck to these teams for the rest of the season.

Tuesday afternoon also provided an excellent display of fitness and skill, with the intermediate and senior boys playing in the East Touch semi-finals. The senior team had a comfortable win over the St Andrew’s team, whilst the intermediate team won in what was an exhilarating match against Reddam. I wish both of these teams the best of luck in their grand finals next week.

Finally, congratulations to Jesse Gothelf (pictured opposite) who competed in the CIS Open Boys Tennis Championships at The Kings School last week. Jesse playing well above his age division, managed to compete at this prestigious event in between attending the Year 7 Camp at Somerset. Well done Jesse!
