P&F News

What a Term! The P&F want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday break and Pesach. May we all enjoy the comfort in our tradition of gathering around a table and storytelling with family, friends and people we love. 

Term 1 wrap up

From the sausage sizzle serving to Mitzvah meal making, Friday Chills, Purim and Pesach helpers and more – our school wouldn’t have the warmth and community feel without the generous help and keen involvement of our P&F volunteers and parent community. Thank you sincerely to everyone who was able to offer support this term!

A special thanks to the support of the school, with special mention to Laura Hampton and Michelle Favero for all your support of the P&F this term. 

Friday Chills – Back Term 4!

Friday Chills was a big success this term and we’ll be back to cool you off at the end of a long week when the weather heats up again in Term 4. We averaged over 50 families sharing in the joy of getting to the end of the week in Term 1.

We love seeing familiar faces counting dollars and cents to enjoy a treat before going home for Shabbat. Big thanks to Mel Shilbury for running this initiative and Jonathan Gavshon for his support!

Mindful Mamas 
Mother’s Day Morning –  Friday 10 May 2024

Book now for our upcoming Mother’s Day celebration which warmly invites mothers, grandmothers and special friends to share in a morning of gentle yoga and creative activities. 

It’s up to us

One of the ways to experience the magic of the Emanuel embrace is to volunteer or come along to one of the many events on the calendar – from weekly Friday Chills to Year group catch ups, mums nights, dad nights or family picnics organised by class parents. After all, our community is only as strong as we make it and there’s never been a more important time to show up and be there for each other.

Here are a selection of pictures from Year 1, Year 2 and Year 4 events this term:
