Announcements:

• International Women’s Day – Sunday 8 March 2020: It is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women around the world and within our community. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality.

• Uniform – students are reminded that correct uniform is to be worn to school including only one pair of plain gold/silver stud earrings and no bracelets or rings. A necklace is to be of religious significance. Parents are requested to email the school at uniform@emanuelschool.nsw.edu. if their child has a valid reason for being out of uniform. 

• Hats – please make sure you are wearing a hat and sunblock if you are outside on the playground or the seating deck during recess and lunch. 

• Kippot – please make sure to have your kippah at Assemblies and all prayers. You can purchase a replacement House kippah if you lose yours for $8.50 from the Jewish Studies Department, or the maroon ones from the uniform shop for $7.00 a piece, or if you feel like you’re likely to lose them, you can buy three for $15.00.

• House Concert – We have our annual House Concert occurring Monday of Week 9 after school! It’s great to see such enthusiasm and participation during rehearsals. Let’s make it the best so that we can win!
