Emmaus Christian College Outreach (ECCO) Food Drive 

Join our Food Drive for Barnabas Aid as we collect dried chickpeas, lentils, split peas, and rice. 

Please ensure the products have an expiry date of more than 12 months and are not produced in Australia. 

Your contributions will go a long way in helping struggling families overseas access essential sustenance. 

Let's make a meaningful impact together!

Revitalising our South Plympton Campus

The first stage of our three-stage Master Plan project is scheduled to commence after our students complete school this year, in early December 2023.

In what can only be described as “God’s perfect timing”, our Brooklyn Park Campus is on target to complete the final stages of its five-year Campus Development Program – ‘passing the baton’ to South Plympton Campus, so to speak. Although the Brooklyn Park Campus building stages were expected to be spread over many years, the rapid growth has necessitated these building projects to take place end to end!

The aim of this five-year master plan is to modernise and enhance the facilities at our South Plympton Campus to ensure Emmaus students have the facilities to not just meet the best educational practices of today, but those necessary into the season ahead as educational practices continue to develop.

You may recall I previously wrote to you about the general plans for Emmaus’ three-stage South Plympton Master Plan, as they were made publicly available. This was part of the State Government Planning approval process. Subsequent to planning approval being granted for this development, further refinement of these plans has now taken place. I’m pleased to share with you these final plans that are now on our website: https://emmauscc.sa.edu.au/about/master-plan

Future Communication

I will provide our College Community with regular updates on progress milestones throughout this entire project. Such as when new facilities are completed and made available for students and as we approach the commencement of subsequent stages of construction.

To facilitate and simplify parent questions and correspondence we have appointed a Stakeholder Liaison Officer, Mr Matthew Shilling (mshilling@emmauscc.sa.edu.au) who will answer any questions about the South Plympton developments.

I look forward to sharing with you more details about the entire project especially about the many more exciting features of the subsequent stages and the benefits to our students.

Blessings,

Andrew Linke

Executive Principal
