The 2022 Yearbook is here!
We are so excited to let you know that the 2022 Yearbook has arrived and will be distributed this week. Your eldest enrolled child will receive a copy to take home so please look out for it. We hope you will enjoy sharing the memories as a family.
Congratulations to Jaiden (Year 11) who designed the inspiring cover digital illustration. “'Through the Seasons’ represents the changing in environment through one’s early life; starting as a child, working your way through each year level, and eventually coming to the end of your school journey. The path ahead may be unknown, but your life and experiences, up until now have equipped you with the wings needed to move toward your bright future (pun intended).”
Congratulations also to Martin Gutteridge (Year 11) who has created an animation of the cover below.

Welcome to Term 2!
The Term 2 Canteen Menu is available here
We urge Middle and Senior school students to pre-order. The preferred method to pre-order is the Qkr App. The new Qkr cut-off time 8am. Cash orders can still be placed (see the website to find it how) and EFTPOS is still available for middle and senior school students with a $5 minimum
Your help in the canteen will be greatly appreciated.
Most of our parents and caregivers generously volunteer once a term. Starting time is between school drop off and 9am and finishing between 1.30pm and 2pm or school pick up. To become canteen volunteer, please register here.
We will then contact you with all the information you'll need to know about volunteering and the induction process. All volunteers and parent helpers are required to provide the College with a current Working With Children Check (WWCC). To apply for a WWCC, please visit the SA Government website.
For more information, please visit the College website here. If you have any questions, please contact us on volunteer@emmauscc.sa.edu.au or call 8292 3888.

Volunteer at Emmaus
Register to volunteer at Emmaus Christian College in 2023
Partnering with our parents is integral to driving our mission to inspire young people by providing excellence in education within a caring Christian community.
This year brings renewed hope and anticipation with opportunities to strengthen our community and a full calendar of student experiences, camps and exciting learning opportunities. We are grateful to God for this!
We want to extend the invitation to all Emmaus parents to participate in our College life and volunteer in any way you can throughout the year. There are many ways you can be involved this year, even if it is only for a short time or a once-off. For example:
- Sports Days and Carnivals such as SACSA
- Classroom learning support and reading
- Excursions and camps
- Library assistance - covering books
- South Plympton Canteen
- The Learning Assistance Program (LAP) - A student-centred mentoring program that supports, guides and enriches the wellbeing and learning outcomes of students from Foundation to Year 6.
- School Sport Team assistance including: team managment, coaching, team transport, scoring, umpiring, training supervision, etc
- Supporting Music or Drama Productions
- Community and parent events
If you are interested in volunteering at Emmaus this year, please register your interest here.
You will then receive all the information about the induction process including the volunteer agreement form. Your details will be kept securely, centralised by our College and we will then direct you to the appropriate department or teacher.
If you have already arranged to volunteer this year, please register via this short form, so we can send you our updated policy and volunteer agreement documents.
We sincerely thank you for your contribution to our community and the lives of our young people.
For more information please email volunteer@emmauscc.sa.edu.au or call us on 8292 3888.
