Parents and Friends

Ruby Berkovic & Jen Opit

Hi Everyone,

We can’t believe it’s already the end of Week 6. We hope you are all doing well.

Last week we provided an outline of what the Parents & Friends committee does, and thought we would repeat it again this week for those who may have missed it.

The Emanuel Parents & Friends (P&F) offers support for new parents, organising events like the Annual Teachers Luncheon, Purim Disco, Mother’s and Father’s Day Breakfasts and Gift Stalls and the Annual Fundraiser as well as supports school functions such as Pesach. We manage weekly challah orders and Mitzvah Meals as well as various other ventures. At our meetings, we receive monthly updates from the Head of Primary and the School Principal and we are invited to give feedback from a parent’s perspective. Most importantly, we focus on friendraising – a way to keep our community involved and connected.

We would love for everyone to be involved in some capacity so, if you have an interest in being involved, please join us at our next Committee Meeting. 

P&F Meetings

Our last Parents & Friends meeting of the year is coming up on Tuesday 1 December 2020. It’s a great, and easy, way to get involved in the School and everyone is welcome. This meeting will be the first one in person, rather than on Zoom, since the beginning of the school year. It will be held at a private residence so if you would like more information on attending please contact us: rubykb@gmail.com
