Student Casual Day - Friday 27 September

All Students from ELC to Year 12 are invited to wear casual clothes for a great cause, on the last day of Term 3, Friday 27 September. We ask students to bring in a gold coin donation for Streetlight. 

Streetlight is a community of volunteers from local churches, passionately creating safe spaces to connect with young people out in the community. Being consistently present where young people are, trust-based relationships are formed, in order to help young people discover their potential.

ECCO Pancake Breakfast fundraising result for Lighthouse City Mission

The Emmaus Christian College Outreach (ECCO) team organised and ran two delicious pancake breakfasts to raise money for Lighthouse City Mission Port Adelaide. 

We are pleased to announce we have raised the following at each campus:

South Plympton - $723

Brooklyn Park - $893

A total of $1,616 will go to Lighthouse City Mission, which provides free food, clothing and a community of support for people in the Port Adelaide area who need it. 

Well done Emmaus Community for your efforts!

Brooklyn Park Campus Shuttle Bus Coming in 2025! 

We are very excited to announce a new Brooklyn Park Campus Shuttle Bus Service commencing in Term 1, 2025. 

The shuttle bus will transport students to and from our South Plympton Campus before and after school. 

It will collect students from Brooklyn Park Campus at 8am before school and drop off students back at Brooklyn Park Campus by 4pm each day.

This service is available to all secondary students who live in the western suburbs and will be especially convenient for families with children attending both campuses.

The College greatly subsidises the operational expense of our bus service, and bus fares are added to family accounts at the beginning of the year.

To register your interest or for more information contact Holly Sabine, Enrolment Officer at hsabine@emmauscc.sa.edu.au or call 8292 3812 

Limited places available for Year 10, 2026

Although there are waiting pools for most of our Year levels in the forthcoming two years, there are enrolment spaces available in the Year 10, 2026 cohort (inc. Year 9, 2025). 

We are thrilled to provide this an opportunity for more young people to achieve their SACE in a nurturing Christian community where they can flourish.

Please share this news with your families and friends!
