Kristy Reed, Head of Sport & PDHPE Teacher

In Term 4 Emanuel will be taking part in various weekly team sport competitions. Team sports are encouraged at Emanuel not only for the obvious health and fitness benefits, but also as a vehicle to develop skills such as teamwork, leadership and resilience.

In Term 4, Emanuel will enter teams into the Easts Basketball League. This sport option involves weekly training sessions at school and weekly Sunday games. Games are held at Moore Park, Waverley or Dover Heights. This opportunity is open to all boys and girls in High School. Teams will be formed based on skill level and age divisions.

Netball teams will be entered into the High Performance Netball Tournament at Heffron Park. Participation in this competition will involve weekly training sessions at school and matches each Thursday afternoon. The competition runs from 18 October through until 6 December. Teams are available for girls in the 14s or opens divisions.

Once again, Emanuel will take part in the Easts Schools Touch Football Competition. This competition will involve weekly training sessions and matches each Tuesday afternoon at Queens Park. The competition commences on 16 October and will conclude on the 5 March, with no games over the holiday period. The competition is run across three divisions: Year 7, junior and senior, for both boys and girls.

All sport teams will be allocated coaches for the duration of the season and the School’s expectation is that team members attend all training sessions and games. Students are required to follow Emanuel’s uniform expectations and all uniforms are purchased through the School’s onsite uniform shop.

Each sport has a registration fee and these fees will be shared in the parent information letter distributed in Week 9 of this term. In order to keep these fees to a minimum all fees receive a 40% subsidy from the School.

If your child is interested in being part of any of these sporting opportunities, please have them express their interest by signing up on sports noticeboard.
