ASISSA Netball Gala Day

This annual event took place on Thursday 21 March 2024 at the Perry Park Recreation Centre in Alexandria.

Twelve Emanuel girls pitted their netball skills against teams from our association including IGS, Moriah College, Mt Sinai, SACS, Reddam House, Kesser Torah, Emanuel School, and the Barbarians (a team comprised of representatives from several schools). 

The aim of the day was twofold. The first was to win as many games as possible in the round robin format and the second was to gain selection in the ASISSA representative team.

 

Ruby Segal, Tali Strous, Siena Kery, Siena Ryder, Courtney Kadish and Maddison Green were all chosen to participate in the Possible v Probable games used to select the ASISSA team.

Congratulations to Siena Kery, who was selected to represent ASISSA at the CIS Netball Championships.

This prestigious event will be held at Netball Central at Sydney Olympic Park on Friday 17 May 2024.

The team will be coached by Erin Archer, Head of Netball at Emanuel School, and myself. We wish the team all the very best.

Girls Primary School CIS Football

Well done to Ava Lotkin and Isabella Lotkin who represented Emanuel School and ASISSA at the NSWCIS trials on Monday March 25 2024. Both girls acquitted themselves well as they participated in a gruelling seven game round robin competition, vying for selection in the CIS team.

Head of Football, Aytek Genc, commented that the girls are very good players, incredibly active on the football pitch and always demonstrate so much promise.

Although just falling short on selection this year, the girls have a bright future ahead in the world of football.

Emanuel Netball @ the CDSSA Netball Championships

The Emanuel Netball teams showcased their skills at the CDSSA Netball Championships with impressive performances across the board.

Emanuel U15 Girls Netball Team 

The U15 Girls Netball team’s hard work and dedication paid off, as they remained undefeated throughout the day, ultimately winning the Grand Final against a strong Moriah College team. Captain Hayley Kanevsky led the team to a thrilling 2-point victory, with Sophia Kirievskaya impressing in only her second ever game of netball. Special congratulations to Hayley Kanevsky, Indigo Trope, and Layla Aronstan for making the CDSSA team.

Emanuel Open Girls Netball Team 

The Open Girls Netball team displayed strong performances, narrowly losing to Moriah College by one point in their pool match and securing 3rd place overall, by defeating IGS in their playoff match. Despite facing tough competition from a formidable GOAL team, most of whom are NSW Representatives, the Emanuel Girls showed great enthusiasm, skill, and pride throughout the tournament.

Emanuel Open Mixed Netball Team 

The Mixed Team performed exceptionally well, going undefeated in the pool games and advancing to the Grand Final against GOAL. Despite a closely contested match that went into extra time, the team narrowly lost by just one goal.

Overall, the Emanuel Netball teams demonstrated outstanding skills across the teams, determination, and teamwork throughout the championships.

A special mention to our Head of Netball, Erin Archer, and the Netball coaching team: Reese Corben, Chloe Stockley, Brooke Rosen, Aimee Blackmore, Fiona Lamont and Luci Labi for their contributions to the team’s success.
