World Teachers' Day 👩‍🏫

We shine a light on our incredible teachers who inspire, support and empower the next generation every day. At Emmaus, our teachers do so much more than educate; they also invest in students' faith, helping them grow in their understanding of God's love for them and the unique purpose He has for their lives.

While World Teachers' Day gives us a special opportunity to celebrate, we are grateful for our teachers every day of the year. To all our wonderful teachers, thank you for the difference you make each and every day. 

Year 9 and 6 Connection Day

Recently, the Year 9s from South Plympton visited the Brooklyn Park Year 6s to participate in games and activities.

Honouring those who served - Remembrance Day 2026

On Wednesday 11 November, student leaders from our Brooklyn Park and South Plympton Junior schools had the privilege of attending the Remembrance Day Service at West Terrace Cemetery.

As part of this special occasion, schools were invited to place an individual remembrance poppy on each of the 4,167 resting places of Australian military personnel within the Australian Imperial Forces Cemetery. This meaningful tradition ensures that each person is individually remembered and provides a wonderful opportunity for our students to connect with the stories and sacrifices of those who served.

For many of our young students, war and remembrance are concepts they are only beginning to understand. Experiences like these provide a meaningful connection to something they will continue to hear about, learn about and reflect upon as they grow older. Their understanding will deepen over time, but these early experiences help lay the foundations.

During the ceremony, our student leaders also had the honour of laying poppy wreaths, thoughtfully created by students and teachers across both campuses.

It was a memorable and moving experience for everyone involved, providing a deeper understanding of the importance of remembrance.

We are grateful to Adelaide Cemeteries for inviting Emmaus Christian College to participate in this important occasion and for providing such a valuable opportunity for our young leaders.
