Aron Kleinlehrer is one of the Emanuel’s founders and has been a close friend and benefactor for most of the School’s 35 years. His love for our School and commitment to our students’ learning and development has resulted in many celebrations in his honour.

Receiving a blessing on his 90th Birthday

Our students have sung songs for him and enjoyed delicious slices of chocolate cake with him on many auspicious occasions including his many birthdays! Without Mr Kleinlehrer’s generosity, both financially and in spirit, our School would be a very different place.

While we honour Mr Kleinlehrer for his unwavering support of our School, his contribution to the School and the Arts was officially recognised in the Australia Day Honours and was awarded a much-deserved OAM.

Aron Kleinlehrer OAM, we are so proud of your achievement in this, your 96^th year.
