In Week 6, Year 7-10 students will compete in the Cross Country carnival during their weekly PDHPE classes. The best runners will then be selected for the Emanuel Cross Country team.

ESport and EActive programs

The ESport and EActive programs have had a successful start to the year. The Easts Basketball competition commences this Sunday and I wish the five Emanuel teams the best of luck in the Term 1 competition. Easts have now changed the format of the season to align with school terms which will support player and team organisation.

The Emanuel Swim squad provides an excellent opportunity for students to enhance their swimming technique and fitness. This squad is run out of UNSW Aquatic Centre each Friday morning under the guidance of a UNSW swim coach. For further information please contact Sharon Fairfax sfairfax@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au
