Award-Winning Leadership in Geography Education
Congratulations to our Geography Coordinator and Director of Teaching and Learning (7-12), Chris Bright, who recently won the Community Engagement Award from the Geography Teachers' Association of South Australia.
Presented by the Minister for Education, Training and Skills, Lucy Hood, the award recognises Chris's commitment to promoting Geography education through innovative initiatives, including the Geography Photo Competition for Years 7-9. His passion for connecting students with real-world learning and building strong community partnerships continues to make a positive impact across South Australia.
Well done Chris!
Federal Government Funding supports new Learning Facilities at Emmaus
We recently acknowledged the opening of our upgraded facilities at our South Plympton Campus - the Visual Art Centre, Home Economics Centre, and Technology Centre.
During our Year 9-10 Assembly, we welcomed special guests Ms Louise Miller-Frost MP, Member for Boothby, and representatives of the South Australia Independent Schools Block Grant Authority, Ms Jane Pike and Mr Russell Eley.
We thank the Australian Government's Capital Grants Program for providing funding which has supported these major projects and significant milestones in the ongoing development of our South Plympton Campus Master Plan.
These exciting new facilities will give students opportunities to create, design, innovate, solve problems, develop practical skills, and discover gifts that will serve them throughout their lives. More than just buildings, these spaces will help equip young people for meaningful futures and lives of purpose.
As we celebrate these new facilities, we recognise that their greatest value will not simply be in the projects created, meals prepared, or designs produced. Rather, their lasting impact will be seen in the lives of the students who learn within them.
Our prayer is that these spaces will be places where skills are developed, character is strengthened, faith is nurtured, and a generation of young people is equipped to bring hope, service, and leadership to their communities and beyond.
