Emmanuel College
Congratulations to all participants in the 2025 Athletics Carnivals! Over the past two weeks, it was fantastic to see so many students cheering each other on and giving their best in relays, long jump, discus, shot put, and individual track events. Your enthusiasm and sportsmanship truly made the carnivals special.
Congratulations to Winters House at St Paul's and McCluskey House at Notre Dame on winning the 2025 Athletics Carnival championship. Your dedication and teamwork were outstanding.
Thank you to everyone—athletes, staff, and supporters—who contributed to making this event a success.
At Emmanuel College, there’s something for everyone. Our campus libraries aren’t just quiet study spaces—they’re buzzing with lunchtime clubs where students can dive into their interests and meet like-minded friends. Whether you're into Warhammer, Tabletop Gaming, Miniature Painting, Craft, or Chess, there’s a place for you.
Art Club meets every Thursday lunchtime and is very popular, with students coming into the art room to experiment with different materials and play with clay and the pottery wheels. Students socialise with friends from all year levels, creating artworks and having fun. Creative times ahead!
A huge congratulations to all the students who auditioned for the Year 7-9 rock bands! We can’t wait to hear your performances throughout the year.
Every Thursday in Homeroom, students participate in the Career Ponders Program, exploring career paths with guidance aligned to global standards like the Australian Blueprint for Career Development. For Year 7 students, this is an incredible chance to learn alongside peers from different year levels. The shared experience fosters a supportive, inspiring environment where students gain insight, set goals, and build confidence in their future aspirations.
