Emmanuel College
Whilst we are nearing the end of the school year, there is still plenty happening at Emmanuel.
We have recently farewelled our students in Year 12 who now eagerly await their results which come out in a couple of weeks. We have also wished the Year 10 & 11 students well as they have completed their exams as well as their Headstart program and they head off for a well-earned break.
Last week was also very busy as the Year 8's headed to Anglesea to learn how to surf, to catch some waves and enjoy each other’s company away from studying. In addition to this, we acknowledged high achievement at the annual Celebration of Excellence evening held at Flemington Racecourse on Thursday. Awards were presented for excellence in all areas of school life and we congratulate everyone in achieving their personal and academic best.
It will be very exciting to welcome 473, Year 7/2024 students, to their Orientation Morning is this Tuesday 28 November. Orientation morning is another great way that assists in the transition leap from primary to secondary school and for students to get to know their campus a little bit better.
Ms King, Art teacher at Notre Dame is excited to share the news that it is clay time again! After the big move to the new Resing Art Building, the Art Department is making wonderful use of the facilities and the fantastic weather. The Roller Door is up and students have been experiencing the use of the new clay area at NDC.
This new room houses the pottery wheel facilities and the current Year 9 Picture Perfect students have been able to use this area to extend their clay making skills with much pleasure and enjoyment. This is on offer for many students that use clay as a material. Cleanup is a breeze, with the new area able to be hosed out for use in the next lesson - exciting times for the Art Department.
Yours sincerely,
