Primary School Sport
ASISSA/CIS Tennis
Mazal tov to Maya Hersch who was selected to represent ASISSA at the CIS tennis trials held at the Kings School in Parramatta. In the ASISSA qualifying trials, Maya played consistent tennis ensuring her selection in the squad. Competition at CIS was tough with many of Maya’s opponents regularly playing in tournaments around Australia. Maya played great tennis and represented herself, Emanuel School and ASISSA admirably.
Gross Motor Program
Students in Years K – 2 at Emanuel School are again participating in a program of Gross Motor Skill Development on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
Gross Motor skills involve the coordinated effort of the large muscle groups and involve balance and patterns of movement. The student’s proficiency in these skills are developed through a variety of activities that emphasise efficient movement.
In addition, these physical activities provide opportunities for self-expression, social interaction, cooperation, enjoyment, challenge and fun.
Thank you to the Years K – 2 staff and the enthusiastic Year 6 Student Leaders who make this important activity a success.
Primary Swimming Carnival
The 2020 Emanuel School Primary Swimming Carnival was held at Des Renford Aquatic Centre on Thursday 20 February 2020. All students in Years 3 – 6 attended along with many parents and friends. Enthusiasm was high as many new war cries rang out constantly from the stands cheering on fellow housemates as they were swimming. The grandstand was elaborately decorated in red, blue and green. There were many fiercely contested races and this competitiveness in the pool was reflected in the result at the end of the day.
