Last Monday, we took Three year 6 teams to compete against a number of other local primary schools in our very first Basketball Carnival.
We entered 2 boys teams and 1 girls team into the tournament.
The Tournament was played at Lakeside recreation centre in Bibra lake. Each of our teams played in 3 qualifying games, with the top side from each Pool to play Finals!
Our Boys A Team went through the tournament undefeated and played some outstanding basketball, highlighted by a brilliant passing game.
They made it through to the Grand Final, where they defeated All Saints 36-8!
These boys worked extremely well as a team and have now qualified for the State Championship series to be held in November.
Our Boys B Team and Our Girls team did not manage to qualify for the finals, however their attitude, effort and team work was also to be commended.
The sportsmanship shown by St.Emilie’s children was again a real standout on the day!
A very big thank you to Mr and Mrs Forrest, who were a huge help on the day. Providing uniforms, coaching and assisting with scoring was all very much appreciated!
Thanks also to Miss Corkhill , Mr Munro and Jacob Aquino for giving up their time to coach.
We also had a fantastic turnout of parent support during the day.
Thank you to any parents that gave up their time to support our children and assisted on the day.
We now look forward to our Boys A team competing in their next Tournament!
Congratulations to our fabulous 50 strong Years 4-6 St Emilie’s School Choir who delighted the audience with their wonderful performance at the Vasto Club in Balcatta last Monday!
The selected songs, which contained multiple harmonies and parts were performed with great skill and enthusiasm and each and every child certainly did our school very proud.
Mr Dabbs is to be highly commended once again on the time, dedication and expertise he shares so generously with our students – we are so lucky!

On Friday night, the 18th of August, 40 talented students represented St Emilies in the Creative Dance section of the Catholic Performing Arts Festival.
They danced with precision, emotion and heart and truly reflected our theme of ‘Homeless Youth’.
As part of our whole school focus on ‘Social Justice’, the students danced a piece that reflected their own thoughts and questions about homeless kids in our world. Candles were used to symbolise the light of Christ as a beacon of hope.
To the students, we are beyond proud of each and everyone of you. You gave it your all and danced beautifully. Thank you for all of your effort and commitment this year. Congratulations and well done!
-Miss Kristy Foong, Miss Chantelle Goodall and Miss Tiana Massimi
Below is the introduction to our dance for 2017
Homeless
To be without a home or a family. The feeling is an empty one.
What would people think? How would they see you? Would they even see you at all?
What does it mean to be truly homeless? Without love, without feeling, without light.
All we can do is hold the light of Christ close to us.
And we hope.
Hope that everything will be alright.

Today the Year 5 & 6 students from the St. Emilie’s Christian Dance Group expressed their love and faith, through movement and dance, as part of the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools. All of the students danced with joy and honesty, and received wonderful feedback from the guest adjudicator present. Luckily for the community of St. Emilie’s, the Christian Dance Group will also be performing their liturgical dance at the upcoming Feast of Assumption Mass, and would love you to be present. Here are some snapshots of the performance at today’s showcase.
Enjoy,

Our very own St Emilie’s Years 4 to 6 Band saw their many hours of dedicated practise truly pay off when they took the stage at the Performing Arts Festival.
Under the special guidance of Mr Nick Dabbs, they were not prepared to let the fact they were the only Primary School band on the program get the better of them. They combined, beautifully, to provide wonderful renditions of South Africa and Calypso that were both melodic and highly entertaining.
Thank you to all band members for representing yourselves, and our school, so well – both on and off the stage. Thank you also to the many proud parents who came along to support.
Finally, a huge thank you to Mr Dabbs! We greatly appreciate the time, energy, creativity and passion you give to nurturing our children’s love of music and the Arts. The fruits of your labour were certainly on show today!
Congratulations and well done to all members of our Cross Country Team who braved Friday’s wild, windy weather to represent St Emilie’s at Friday’s Inter-school Carnival. Your combined efforts helped us to achieve a very credible second place – overall.
Our Team Captains, Taylah and Taj, lead by example – winning their respective races in style. Our other runners also placed well.
Thank you to Mr Paul Davis for his great organisation, and for running our well attended before school training sessions. Thank you also to Mrs Harvey, Miss Ryan, Miss
who looked after the team and acted as marshals and place judges.
2018, could very well be our opportunity to take out the top spot – so start training everyone!
