Outstanding Achievements

Congratulations to Zac Urbach who recently competed at the National Athletics Championships. Zac narrowly missed the final and placed 11th in Australia Mens U18 100m Sprint, with a time of 11.27s. Zac qualified automatically from his heat run to the final of the Mens U18 200m, placing 6th, running a personal best time. He was then selected to run the first leg of the NSW relay team, with his team winning Gold. Well done Zac on such an amazing achievement, and we are looking forward to the school athletics season ahead. 

Congratulations to Talia Kleviansky, Zack Gerber, Oliver Novy and David Winter, who were recently selected in the CDSSA Representative Touch Football teams and competed at the  AICES Touch Football Championships this week. Tali played in the Opens Girls Team who won the competition, and Zack, Oliver and David were all part of the Junior Boys Team which were runners-up on the day. Well done!

Primary Futsal News

On Tuesday, the Primary 13yrs boys and girls futsal teams competed at the NSW Schools Futsal Regional Championships at Dural. The teams had a thorough preparation this term, with trials and weekly training sessions at UNSW with Emanuel coaching staff. 

The level of competition at the Dural region was very high, playing schools such as Mamre Anglican College, Central Coast Sports College and Hills Grammar. The boys team had three tough matches in the pool stage and unfortunately did not qualify for the finals. The Emanuel Girls Team, dominated the pool stage, winning all three matches. The girls had a convincing 5-0 win over St Bernadette’s in the quarter-final with a great all round team performance. They played a tough semi-final against West Pennant Hills and came away with a 3-2 victory. The Grand Final was a great match, playing Mamre Anglican College. Emanuel out in a brave effort, but narrowly lost the game in the last few minutes. Congratulations to Zara Keller and Netali Jaduin who both scored an abundance of goals from up front, Maia Sharabi, Elah Sharbi and Noaa Smily for their fantastic defence, and a special mention to Lexi Butt for her outstanding performance in goals. The team has now qualified for the State Championships later in the year.
