Emmanuel College

We have mentioned before about value we place in delivering our extensive transition program, it has delivered a smooth transition for so many students from primary to secondary school. Equally as important is the relationships that we encourage between our students and those in our feeder primary schools. During the year, we work closely with our feeder schools to determine what value add experiences we can share for the students of both schools. During the past 12 months we have partnered in science programs, soccer clinics, music and performing arts workshops and social justice projects just to name a few. These partnerships provide the primary school students with the opportunity to aspire as leaders within their own school and within Emmanuel when they arrive.

Please use the links below to watch a conversation between friends from our school and one of our feeders, these are crucially important relationships to build.

We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Building connection to school is a key factor in growing engagement for students. Everyone knows that people have different interests, skill and attributes. At Emmanuel College, we run an array of different events during the year that caters for the broad range of things that may be of interest to people. Book Week exhibitions and competitions, Lego Masters as well as inter and intra house games and competitions just to name a few. Connection to a student’s House is an essential element of building engagement between the student and school, House Leaders are constantly conducting events that help students know and feel that they are an important part of school life.

One of the most anticipated events each year is the LipSync Battle which happens in Term 4 annually. The Year 7s battle it out in a singing / dancing extravaganza, all very keen to claim the title. The links below show the 2019 version of the LipSync Battles at each campus. This event will definitely happen again in 2020, but, like everything else, it might be a bit different. Enjoy the show!
