Kristy Genc – Director of Sports K-12

Welcome back to what we are hoping will be a great year of sport at Emanuel. There has certainly been plenty of great Australian sport over the summer, and I hope that our students are keen to be active and involved. 

Head Coaching Staff

Over the break, we have added three exciting new head coaching positions to the Sports Department: 

Head of Tennis K-12: Mateusz Rabenda 
Head of Football & Futsal K-12: Aytek Genc 
Head of Athletics & Cross Country K-12: Jordan Williams

Mat, Aytek and Jordan are all long-standing Emanuel coaches, and we are looking forward to each of them taking a more active role in the planning and coordinating of the Emanuel programs. 

Summer Sport Camps

The 2022 sports program commenced in mid-January, with training camps held for our 1sts football teams and basketball players. These camps provided the necessary training and preparation for players during the long summer break, before returning to regular training this term. 

Term 1 Weekly Sport commences next week

Registrations for all Term 1 weekly sports have now closed. I am delighted with the number of registrations that have been received across Years K-12 and look forward to a great term of sport. All weekly sport options commence in Week 2 and run until Week 10 (inclusive). As part of the Years 7 and 8 school curriculums, all students should have registered for at least one sporting activity. If your child is in Year 7 or 8 and has not completed their registration, please contact the Sports Office immediately.

Registration for the Term 2 sports program will be available in Week 6.
