Emmanuel College
At this year’s Marianist Day, our amazing Year 12 VCE-VM students took charge and ran their own mini businesses — all to support local charities. In the lead-up, they researched, planned, and budgeted; on the day, the stalls were buzzing with freshly made pizza, milkshakes, popcorn, fairy floss, and a sizzling BBQ. Their energy and teamwork were incredible, and they raised an impressive $3000! Congratulations to our students for their creativity, generosity, and community spirit — what a fantastic achievement.
SACCSS eSports Champions: Emmanuel College has once again proven its dominance in the digital arena, taking out three SACCSS eSports titles. Congratulations to our Intermediate A Team, B Team and Senior A Team, all Champions. The Senior Boys AFL team has finished top of the table after an impressive home-and-away season. They will now face Thomas Carr in the grand final at Avalon Airport Oval on Wednesday, 25th June. Best of luck to the team as they look to bring home the title—we're all behind you. Well done to all students who participated and who represent Emmanuel College with enthusiasm.
