Inter-House Step Challenge 

Szenes House has done an amazing job in the Inter-House Step Challenge, maintaining 1st place thus far. With the challenge ending on Monday 13 September 2021, Szenes has done an overall amazing job at working as a team to accumulate almost 7000 steps so far. After Day 11, we have three Szenesians in the top eight student steppers: Matt Lowy (175,701 steps), Jake Newfield (169,905 steps) and Layla Goldberg (119,786 steps). Thank you to everyone who have been involved and participated, it has been a great way to get out and stay active during lockdown.

Keep an eye out for more Inter-House challenges next term and do not forget to get involved! For more updates follow @emanuel_sport on instagram. 

Year 12 Szenes Farewell

This year we said our farewell to the Year 12s a little differently, as the Assembly was held via Zoom. Although we were physically far apart, our Szenes family proved its strength and support more than ever. From sibling speeches to students and teachers bidding farewell to our amazing Year 12s, the Assembly was a touching and emotional goodbye. The whole of Szenes House is extremely grateful for everything that they have done for us over the years and we can not wait to see what they do next. 

House Madrichim 2021-2022 Farewell to Year 12 Szenes

Year 12 Szenes, it is almost the end of your long schooling journey, and for many of you, your long Emanuel and Szenes journey. Looking back at what you have all achieved over the past year is incredible. Navigating Szenes through a global pandemic, but more importantly (and impressively), you made it through yourselves, as both a cohort and individuals. Your enthusiasm, House spirit and your widespread culture of inclusivity shone throughout your time leading our House, whether that was at our Wednesday morning assemblies, carnivals or at House music. As you guys reach the end of your 13 years journey of schooling, and your six years journey in Szenes, it is amazing how much you have all achieved and contributed to Emanuel School and the greater community.

To our House Madrichim 2020-2021

Lexi, I do not think we have ever seen anyone have more energy at 8.20 am on a Wednesday morning. You have brought such charisma and enthusiasm into everything you do for our House and you have made an enormous impact on every single person. Thanks for everything, especially your incredible singing at House music. (Remy Waller) 

Jess, my wonderful, incredible sister, it has been amazing being in school with you for the last 12 years and seeing you mature from an annoying big sister at Bellevue Hill to a slightly less annoying little sister at Emanuel. What you have done for Szenes is extremely valuable and leaves Remy and I some big shoes to fill. I (and Szenes House) wish you the best of luck for the rest of Year 12 and hopefully I will see you every so often once you move to ANU! (Matt Lowy)

Thank you Year 12 for everything you have done and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for all of you!

Quotation of the week

“Every act of forgiveness mends something broken in this fractured world.
It is a step, however small, in the long, hard journey to redemption.”
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
