Teachers: 29/1/2018

We have come to the end of yet another exciting year. Emerson School

has been in existence for 45 years with over 2,500 students benefitting

from our personalised learning programs. Already, 46 new students have

enrolled for 2018. This number will grow before the new school year

commences.

I would like to thank all students, staff, family members and friends who

have worked so well together in making this year such a success.

I wish everybody a relaxing and energising Christmas/New Year break!

I look forward to greeting all students on Tuesday, 30th January for the

commencement of the 2018 school year.

I would like to wish the Emerson Community a very Happy and Safe Christmas.

Kindness and compassion are demonstrated by our staff and students everyday regardless of the time of the year.

May you be surrounded by a sense of calm and peacefulness and remember to practice moderation in all the things you do.

I am looking forward to 2018 with lots of enthusiasm as our enrolments continue to increase, allowing many more young people the opportunity to discover, and develop, their talents.
