On the day over 100 students - past and present - parents and teachers joined the Immanuel float, which was themed on the ?Immanuel College family? and focused on the three pillars of the schools ethos, Torah life, Jewish tradition and academic excellence.
Philip Skelker, Headmaster of Immanuel College commented: ?Is it indeed a privilege for Immanuel College to stand side by side with the rest of the UK Jewish community and celebrate Israel?s achievements over the past 60 years. We are proud to instil in our pupils a deep love and commitment to the State of Israel and will continue to do so in our lessons, our many extracurricular activities and on our annual Immanuel College Israel trips.?
