Would you be interested in hosting an Emmaus Year 10-12 student at your work site?
Emmaus Christian College is seeking work experience opportunities for our Year 10 to 12 students. We are looking to develop a register of worksites that students can contact for a possible work placement. Your contact details will be stored on the register, which Work Experience teachers can access and provide appropriate details to individual students. Acceptance of students for work placement is at the worksite supervisor's discretion, based on direct student contact, on a case-by-case basis.
If this interests you, please fill in the expression of interest form here by 7 April 2023.
For more information, email Michael Worley, CCAPP Coordinator at mworley@emmauscc.sa.edu.au

- Removed Cold Rolls
Tuesdays
- Added grilled ciabatta
- Removed quiche and small side salad
Thursdays

South Plympton Canteen - Qkr App orders daily cut-off time change to 8am
We are grateful for the strong support of our South Plympton Canteen. We are continuing to receive a high volume of orders via the Qkr App.
In order to fulfull these large order volumes prior to the 11am Middle/Senior School recess we have moved the Qkr order cut-off time to 8am, one hour earlier.
If you miss the 8am cut-off via the Qkr App, you may still place lunch bag orders (before 9am) through the Junior School class boxes or the Middle/Senior School blue box outside the front office.
We value the support of our volunteers who allow us prepare and fulfill the high volume of orders within the short morning window in time.
Please consider volunteering in the Canteen, even if it’s for a few hours of a morning.
If you’d like to volunteer, please register here.
