Welcome… A Note From The Principal Emmanuel Catholic College is a flourishing and vibrant Catholic secondary school that has established itself as a successful and thriving educational community. The past ten years has seen the College develop from small beginnings to a well planned Year 7 to 12 campus with excellent facilities catering for over 820 students from surrounding districts. Initially planned to be a six stream coeducational school with a total enrolment of approximately 950, the College expanded to include Year 7 students in 2008. Emmanuel Catholic College lead the way for most Catholic secondary schools in bringing forward this important change and enhancing the transition from Primary to Secondary schooling. By all accounts the transition model adopted by the College in embracing Year 7’s as part of secondary schooling has proven to be a very successful and positive change. Our teaching and learning community continues to respond to the significant changes and emerging trends in curriculum, most recently in preparing for the onset of the National Curriculum. The staff strive towards building a culture of excellence and high standards as work towards providing the best all round, holistic education experience for our students, continues. Pastorally, Emmanuel has a strong reputation for providing extensive support and care for those within our community. We constantly seek to instill and reinforce a strong sense of community through the College’s core values: » We will show respect, compassion and service to others » We will strive for excellence » We will be consistent and fair » We will model Christ in our behaviour The development of the whole person through a rich learning journey, a supportive and caring community and Jesus as a model for life and action is a very much the ethos of Emmanuel Catholic College. Pride in achievement is also part of developing and maintaining a positive learning culture and an environment with an expectation of the highest standards. We are proud of our school and look forward to it continuing to distinguish itself as it forges ahead into the next decade and the challenges beyond.
