Hi Everyone,

We hope you enjoyed the Term Break.

Challah orders Term 2 

This is the last week that we will be taking challah orders for Term 2. Delivery begins in Week 1 of this term (today).

You can eliminate the hassle of having to pick up your weekly challah and support the Parents & Friends at the same time. We will be selling freshly baked challah every Friday at the cost of $4.50 and you or your kids can pick it up on a Friday afternoon between 3.20 pm – 3.40 pm outside the Reception Building in Waxman Drive. (Gluten free challah is available at an increased price of $10.00 per loaf).

The challot must be pre-ordered. Please register your interest by emailing here 

Mother’s Day get together and gift stalls

Meditation Session and Get Together

This year, to celebrate Mother’s Day, the P&F would like to invite you to a relaxing morning meditation session. On Thursday 13 May 2021, please join us in Centennial Park outside the Homestead Café after drop-off for a catchup and relaxing meditation session – led by Jodie Gien @ Mindful Future Project

Where:  Meet by the Homestead Café in Centennial Park (you can grab a coffee before we begin).
When:   Come after drop-off for an 8.30 am start. The meditation will run for approximately 30 minutes and you can hang around and chat before and after if you choose.
What:    A chance to catch up, bond and relax. Bring a yoga mat or blanket to sit on, warm clothes and a gold coin to donate to the Women’s Community Shelters. The Parents & Friends will provide a morning snack.

We hope to see you there!

Gift Stalls

We have organised a wonderful Mother’s Day Gift Stall on Friday 7 May 2021 where we will be selling special gifts for your Primary School children to give to you on Mother’s Day. This is optional! If you would like to participate, please be sure to send your child along with $10.00 per gift on the day and they will bring the gift home with them that afternoon. The correct money would be greatly appreciated and if you would like to purchase more than one gift, perhaps for a grandparent, just send extra money. 

Emanuel Parents & Friends event

Date:  Save the afternoon of Sunday 30 May 2021 for some Family Fun!
