Senior Primary Swim Carnival was sensational

24/02/2021 - Co-Curricular

Our Year 4 – 6 students had a fantastic time participating in the Senior Primary Swim Carnival at Unley Pool today. With the introduction of the Immanuel Community Spirit Cup, we were proud to see our students encouraging each other through words and actions, participating with enthusiasm and showing outstanding team spirit. It was wonderful to see all of our students flourishing by taking part in a range of stroke and novelty events. We congratulate all teams for their efforts today. A huge congratulations to CYGNET, who were the victors in the swim events and to PIRIE for scoring the most points towards the Community Spirit Cup. Thank you to our PE department for the time and effort they put into preparing such a successful event and a big thank you must also go to our many parent volunteers who helped with scoring and water cover today.

Our first Assemby for 2021

24/02/2021 - Assembly, Our School

Our first Assembly for the year was jam-packed. Themed by our core values, RESPECT, FLOURISH, SERVE, some Year 4 ‘Respect Detectives’ began the Assembly by sharing the different ways our students and teachers show RESPECT. Some students shared how they FLOURISH by talking about one of their cultural celebrations, Lunar New Year. Students also talked about our new Community Spirit Cup and shared many ways we can all FLOURISH by getting involved. A real highlight was when Cath O’Loughlin and our good friend Elliot from CCA came for a visit. Through acts of service in 2020, we were able to present the Childhood Cancer Association with a cheque for $10.952.31 A great achievement and we feel proud that we can SERVE them in this way.

Year 6 Leadership Development

08/02/2021 - Our School

Our Year 6 students have been inquiring into leadership and what it means to be a Year 6 leader. The students enjoyed listening to Mrs Clements share about what it means to be a leader and also her own personal leadership journey. As part of their inquiries, students will continue to participate in a range of learning engagements exploring attributes of a leader. Mr Larcombe also shared a devotion about leading like Jesus, with a servant heart. What an exciting and passionate group of student leaders we have for 2021.

It is great to be back at school!

Move it March – 20 minutes a day for 20 days

25/03/2020 - Our School

Wow! What an amazing effort by IPS staff and students during the 20 days of ‘Move It March’ campaign. We moved, we grooved, we showed off our star skills and sporting abilities and most importantly we kept active and had fun.

Students from all year levels participated in ninja runs and cultural sports and the Year 4 students were lucky to have a visit from some Adelaide United Players who demonstrated their soccer skills.

The staff kept fit and healthy by exercising with Big Elliot too. Little Elliot was busy and on the move each day, with eagle-eyed students arriving at school to find his latest sporting adventure. From horse riding, to dancing, tree climbing and skydiving, little Elliot had no shortage of ideas about ways to keep active.

Our Year 6 student leaders did an amazing job of leading and photographing the lunchtime sports and running the Childhood Cancer Association stall in the courtyard each day.

A huge thanks to the IPS community and students for getting behind this initiative and showing your support of the Childhood Cancer Association.

York wins Senior Primary Swim Carnival

25/02/2020 - Co-Curricular

It was great to see the energy, enthusiasm and team spirit shown at Unley Swim Centre for our Year 4 – 6 Swim Carnival. The students were free to enter events in the 4 individual strokes, or be part of the ever popular Novelty races. It was wonderful to see so many swimmers giving these events a go, which is a testament to the lessons our Immanuel students have had at iSwim over the past three weeks.

The morning got off to a very enthusiastic start, led by our very capable Sports’ Leaders. Each House then got into the spirit of the day by sharing their creative War Cries.

We were very proud of our swimmers and the way they cheered each other on showing great support for their house and teammates. The finals were exciting and we saw quality swimming take place where a number of our placegetters will now move to the Immanuel Swim Team to represent the school at the SAPSASA Airport Trials and other Independent Swim Meets over the year.

After the results were counted and scores tallied, I had great pleasure in announcing that the winners of the 2020 Senior Primary Swim Carnival, were York for the second year in a row. Congratulations to all York competitors.

Cygnet wins Year 2/3 Swim Carnival

16/12/2019 - Co-Curricular

Our Year 2 and 3 students gathered in the Immanuel Swim Centre for the Junior Primary Swim Carnival. This event was the culmination of swim lessons where our students grew more confident in the water, developed their strokes, and improved their skills. It was a joy to watch our students swim freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke in their races with developing stroke technique.

The novelty events, such as the Boogie Board, Beach Ball and Boat Race were a great way for our students to have a little fun while also working together as a team. These events provided lots of fun and laughter from our competitors.

Congratulations to Cygnet for taking home the trophy and to all our Year 2/3 students who flourished throughout the last few weeks in the pool. We are proud of the way you showed commitment and courage. Well done for giving so many events a go and for earning valuable points for your team.
