Our Crest and Compass
The Crest
The Emmanuel College Crest is made up of the following components which remind us of our Christian faith.
The Shield: Faith as the prerequisite to all learning and for the believer's protection.
The Cross: Central to the College Crest and central to God's plan of redemption. The starting point of Christian Education.
The Crown: The Lordship of the living Christ; the Lordship He seeks in the total life and learning of each student and the rewards that come from Him to every faithful follower.
The Bible: The Word of God, the underlying basis for Emmanuel education, revealing Christ as Alpha and Omega, the beginning and ending of that education.
The Stars: The Southern Cross - an Australian venture for Christ and a love of our nation.
The Motto: 'To Know - To Serve' - reminds us that when we truly know God we will want to serve Him and one another.
