Emmaus ranked top-performing, affordable Private School in SA!
We give glory to God!
Our students' outstanding performance is a result of our passionate teachers, supportive parents and excellent programs.
Article excerpt:
"Emmaus Executive Principal Andrew Linke said its teachers had a focus on direct, explicit instruction in class and offering early intervention and extension programs “that are designed to lift the performance of all students, irrespective of their circumstances”.
“We have outstanding teachers who go the extra mile for students, who exhibit a genuine care for the whole child."
"We have a very committed and supportive parent community that results in a genuine partnership between the home and school.“
"(And) as a faith-based school, our inclusion of Christian principles throughout all we do results in a solid foundation from which outstanding performance in all areas follows”.
"A rising tide lifts all ships,” Mr Linke said.
“We have outstanding teachers who go the extra mile for students, who exhibit a genuine care for the whole child.
“We have a very committed and supportive parent community that results in a genuine partnership between the home and school."
“(And) as a faith-based school, our inclusion of Christian principles throughout all we do results in a solid foundation from which outstanding performance in all areas follows”.
Year 8 Student Amelia Henderson's greatest benefit of attending Emmaus “has been my growth in confidence.” “My teachers have always encouraged me to come out of my comfort zone, which, in turn, has helped me make good friends and to truly love my school experience.” “My favourite subject is history because I enjoy learning about the past and learning about how things that have happened before have shaped where we are today”.
Year 9 student Elise Chua said studying a variety of subjects, including physical education, art and home economics, helped her to "step out of my comfort zone and try new things.” “They let me be creative and active while still learning important skills like teamwork and responsibility.” “They’re also great for building friendships and giving students the opportunity to showcase their strengths and talents.”
Year 10 student Levi Verreynne said the quality of technology facilities brought extra interest to his favourite subject – electronics and computer-aided manufacturing. “I don’t have to just learn terminology out of a book, but I can practise it on good quality equipment.”
