Hello Community,

We hope you are all settling into Term 2 well.

Mother’s Day get together and Gift Stalls

Meditation session and get together

This year, to celebrate Mother’s Day, the Parents & Friends 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 and we will be selling special gifts for your Primary School children to give to you on Mother’s Day. This is, of course, optional.

If you would like to participate, please be sure to send your child along with $10 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 family event: Scavenger Hunt!

It has been too long since we have been able to come together, so the Parents & Friends is organising an afternoon of excitement with a Scavenger Hunt. Save the afternoon of Sunday 30 May 2021, at a time that suits you between 12.00 pm and 5.00 pm (it will take approximately two hours to complete), for some family fun!

The cost is $50 per family/team (between 2-6 team members) and all you need is enthusiastic participants and a mobile phone on which to download and access the free App that will allow us to play and interact with one another. You will race around Randwick answering questions and completing tasks (by car, bike or on foot – whatever you choose). You will be able to watch the progress of other teams as you race to checkpoints and complete challenges! It is sure to be heaps of fun!
