EMMANUEL COLLEGE

A part of our Mission here at Emmanuel is compassion, respect, justice, and responsibility and as such, we value the connections that we have with our community. One of these connections is between our students and those at our local Catholic Primary Schools. Our VCE-Vocational Major students at NDC have commenced a wonderful initiative, working with some Grade 6 students from our feeder schools. The first visit was to paint planter boxes and plan what vegetables and herbs they would like to plant in the Harmony Garden; they also enjoyed a special visit from Ziggy the therapy dog who had a calming influence on everyone that he met.

Year 12 VCE VM students attended St Mary’s House of Welcome in Fitzroy to cook breakfast and connect with the homeless. This initiative is a great learning experience, opening the students’ eyes to the world around them and an opportunity to give back to their community. We thank St Mary’s for their continued connection with Emmanuel and providing our students the opportunity to show gratitude and appreciation while offering a valuable experience for Melbourne’s vulnerable.

Book Week is the libraries’ most anticipated event for Term 3. Each day, books and reading were celebrated to this year’s theme ‘Read, Grow, Inspire’. Year 8 students attended an author talk with Martin Chatterton, who had the entire year level captivated as he drew pictures of students, talked about ‘writing from your own experience and the future of writing in an AI world’. Activities that included painting pots and rocks, Giant Jenga, Kahoot, paper craft and origami workshops made Book Week 2023 a fantastic week for everyone that participated.
