We will be studying PEACEFULNESS during the next fortnight.
Peacefulness is about remaining calm especially when things are hectic or scary. People who are peaceful create positive relationships with those around them. They are a source of wisdom in times of worry.
Ahmed from MSA has won our Most Determined Person Poster Competition. Ahmed has drawn a lovely picture of his mum. He thinks she is a determined person because she works very hard and never gives up, even when she is tired.

EMERSON SPORT
SENIOR SPORT
Senior interschool sport began last week, with Emerson School entering 2 softball teams and 2 cricket teams. We had mixed results on the indoor cricket pitches, with our teams registering one win and one loss. Indoor cricket is a surprisingly different format to the outdoor game and we will all need a few weeks to get the hang of the new strategies and techniques!
Our softball teams ended up combining into one super team due to a lack of player numbers from the other school. Although no scores were recorded all of the staff were pleasantly surprised with the high standard of play shown by our students. Great start Softballers!
JUNIOR RUNNERS CLUB Runners club has exploded into term four, with the track full of runners on most mornings. Congratulations
to the following students on their milestones! Let’s keep going!
50 Laps Joseph JSC, Ngarey JSI and Monash JSI
250 Laps Justin JSF, Shannon JSJ and Zakaria JSJ
400 Laps Harley JSE
AROUND THE BAY CYCLING The Emerson cycling team took to the streets of Melbourne for the annual ‘Around the Bay’ bike ride last weekend. Students Kyle E, Shawn F, Matthew A and Ethan N completed the 100km course in relative comfort, despite having to ride into a ‘gale force’ headwind for the 2nd half of the journey. The students were ably supported by a staff team which included Chris Murray, Liz Jeans, Tom Howard, Glenn Stephenson and Rebecca Van Den Hoek on bikes and the ever reliable Vic Marczenko in the following bus. Well done to all of the members of the cycling team! Completing an event like this one takes a great deal of determination, motivation, dedication and self-sacrifice. The Emerson community is proud of your efforts!
