Emmanuel College

Last week we held the opening College Mass at the Notre Dame Campus. The St Paul’s Campus students and staff travelled to the campus by bus and we enjoyed a welcoming mass as one community, where new College Principal, Dr Janine Biggin, was officially welcomed. Many thanks to Arch Priest Kalka and Fr Binh who presided over the mass.

 

We also welcomed our families of new Year 7 students along to a pastoral evening last week. Many families came along and enjoyed hearing about life in Year 7.

 

This week the Year 7s from Notre Dame headed off to the Werribee Outdoor Pool and enjoyed the swimming carnival. Beautiful blue skies and warm weather contributed to the great day.

 

The Year 7s from St Paul’s had a terrific day at their athletics carnival held at Newport Athletics Track. There were many outstanding efforts and excellent sportsmanship was on display from the competitors as well as the supporters cheering them on.

Our first College experience opportunity is fast approaching, with the Meet the Principal event coming up in early March. Bookings are essential for this event and can be made via the College website and clicking the Tours & Events tab on the right-hand side of the homepage www.ecmelb.catholic.edu.au Details are as follows:
