Congratulations to Ryan Miller, Sierra Miller, Alessia Frankham, Zella Benko, Liam Frankham, Dan Kalinko, Courtney Kadish and Dan Garfinkel who represented ASISSA at the CIS Swimming Championships at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre on Wednesday 22 March 2023.

Against incredibly tough opposition our swimmers competed well in their respective events. A special mention to Sierra Miller who qualified for the final of the Girls 9 Years 50m freestyle, finishing in 6th position.

Thanks are also extended to Dan Kalinko who stepped into the Senior Boy’s Relay Team at the very last minute replacing the injured Dylan Pal. The Emanuel School spirit is definitely alive and well!

ASISSA Netball Gala Day

This annual event took place on Thursday 23 March 2023, at the Perry Park Recreation Centre in Alexandria. 11 girls, including 2 as members of the Barbarians, pitted their netball skills against teams from IGS, Moriah, Mt Sinai, SACS, Reddam, Arkana, Kesser Torah, Emanuel and the Barbarians.

The aim of the day was twofold. The first was to win as many games as possible in the round robin format to be crowned gala day champions. The second was to gain selection in the ASISSA representative team.

In the games that they played, Emanuel achieved the following results and finished in equal second place overall:

  • Emanuel 14 defeated Barbarians 4
  • Emanuel 9 defeated Mt Sinai 1
  • Emanuel 19 defeated KTC 0
  • Emanuel 12 defeated SACS 0
  • Emanuel 9 drew with Reddam 9
  • Moriah 12 defeated Emanuel 9

Frankie Paez, Shayna Abitz, Akira Aronstan and Talia Gellert were all chosen to participate in the Possible v Probable games used to select the ASISSA team. Congratulations are extended to Shayna Abitz and Akira Aronstan (Shadow) who were selected to represent ASISSA at the CIS Netball Championships. This prestigious event will be held at Netball Central at Sydney Olympic Park on Friday May 5 2023. The team will be coached by Erin Archer, Head of Netball at Emanuel School, and myself. We wish the team all the very best.
