Emmanuel College News
Emmanuel College Latest News Student Indigenous Immersion trips at Emmanuel During the Term 2 school holidays, students embarked on two Indigenous Immersion trips as part of Emmanuel’s NAIDOC week celebrations. As a FIRE Carrier school, Emmanuel College remains committed to reconciliation and the promotion of Indigenous culture and spirituality.
Students from NDC travelled to Dalby in Queensland, while another group of students from SPC travelled to Port Augusta in South Australia. Participants at both campuses found the experience deeply enriching as it offered meaningful insights into Indigenous culture and perspectives that challenged their thinking.
