Introducing our Student Leaders
Faith and Wellbeing Leaders
| Charlotte | Hi, I’m Charlotte B and this year I am your Emerald Faith and Wellbeing leader. I am a very kind and compassionate person and pride myself in always looking out for everyone. My goal for the year is to help the students at Emmaus grow in their understanding of God’s love for them. When I am not at school I love dancing, singing or helping out at my church. |
| Bradley | Hi! I'm Brad, I'm in Year 11, and I have the privilege of being the Ruby Faith and Wellbeing leader for 2024. I play lacrosse and cricket, I love exercising, music, and being on creative teams at my church. Having led Encounter Worship the last couple of years, I'm excited for this opportunity to continue to lead and foster opportunities for our school to grow in wellbeing and our love of the Lord. |
| Mikha | Hey I’m Mikha, and I’ll be your Topaz Faith and Wellbeing Leader this year! I love hanging out with my friends and seeing God’s light in each of them, so I’m super keen on helping inspire and support our community in finding fulfillment in Christ :) |
Debating at Emmaus
Featured in the Advertiser on Monday 25 March in an article titled 'SA’s top high school debaters: Here’s how SA’s debating students are making employment connections early' for their debating skills, Phoebe and Caleb reveal the following:
Phoebe, 14
A need to win arguments and prove a point led Emmaus Christian College Year 9 student Phoebe to debating.
“I really enjoy arguing about a topic I have researched, against other people who understand the topic,” the 14-year-old said.
“I love the rebuttal aspect of debating because you have to think quickly and actually apply your knowledge of the subject off script.”
Caleb, 16
Now in his fourth year of debating, Emmaus Christian College student Caleb likes challenging his pre-existing views on a topic when forming an argument.
This year the Year 11 student will also take on a coaching role for younger students at his school.
“Debating helps me feel more confident, especially when speaking in front of people and larger audiences,” he said.
“It challenges me to think on my feet for rebuttals against my opposition and pay close attention to what they are saying to pick up any flaws or contradictions in their argument.”
Congratulations Phoebe and Caleb and we look forward to witnessing your debating bring truth to the world!
