Miriam Itzkowitz – Year 12

Ashley Cohn – Year 7

This week in Szenes

It is Week 7 everyone! Just four weeks left of the term and things are starting to warm up as we begin Spring. This week Year 11 completed their examinations. We hope that our students are pleased with their performance. 

Szenes students were reminded to lock their lockers and students without a lock were spoken to by their Tutor. New locks can be purchased for $20.00. 

Remember to sanitise your hands every day as you enter our school grounds, and enjoy the following week!

Wear it Purple

Last Friday, High School students came dressed in purple or with a purple accessory. This day was to celebrate and raise money for two organisations; Friendship Circle and Wear it Purple. Wear it Purple is an organisation celebrating and looking after members of the LGBTQ+ community. To learn more about this community, during Tutor time, students watched a video explaining LGBTQ+ people and what the acronym stands for. One of the letters; A, represents the word Ally. Being an ally in the LGBTQ+ community means to not necessarily identify as LGBTQ+, but to support and understand being LGBTQ+. As Emanuel is a school known for its inclusivity, all students are encouraged to be LGBTQ+ allies.
