Emmanuel College
Life at Emmanuel College is engaging and truly presents something for everyone. We celebrated the Feast of the Assumption last Thursday, with Archpriest Fr. Michael Kalka leading a beautiful celebratory mass at St Paul’s Campus. The Mission Team at Notre Dame Campus held a wonderful liturgy and we thank everyone for their contribution in making this day meaningful and inspirational.
Emmanuel’s Marianist ethos is expressed in a safe and secure Catholic environment, based on compassion, respect, justice and responsibility which fosters the development of the learning and faith community. The following is a reflection on Cultural Week, by one of our student leaders, Kadin Harvey:
As a community comprised of many different cultures and backgrounds, we are very lucky to have the support from our school to celebrate what brings us all together. This week at NDC, we have been very busy running many different activities to celebrate Cultural Week. One of our McCoy House Captains, Khang Huynh, planned, organised and ran a Cultural Trivia competition on Wednesday which students were invited to participate in, creating not only some friendly competition, but also teaching some fun facts about the cultures within our own community. One of the McCluskey House Captains, Ishmanpreet Gosal, organised a Cultural Dancing event were staff and students were given the opportunity to individually or in a group perform a dance traditional to their culture. We had three different groups participating, performing Indian, Filippino and Greek dancing. Alongside the dancing, we also had the cultural dress parade, where students who were wearing clothing representing their background came together to celebrate. On top of all of these activities, we also had students read The Our Father prayer in the language of their culture over the PA system during Homeroom each day for all staff and students to hear. Finally, We'd like to leave you with the following quote from which we sought inspiration from during the planning of these activities; "Diversity is like the colours of the rainbow, all the different colours is what makes the rainbow so beautiful".
