We aim to provide education in accord with biblical truths and principles that are academically sound and effective in helping our students to develop their God-given skills and abilities, contributing to spiritual, emotional, social and character development. Our goal is that our students will become mature Christian adults who in turn, have a positive influence on our community and beyond, to the glory of God.

2024 NAPLAN Results

Our students achieved their highest average score in the history of our College! On average, 85% of Emmaus students achieved in the top two NAPLAN performance categories (either "strong" or "exceeding") – which is an incredible 24% higher than the State average.
Our students’ outstanding results aren't just the achievement of a select few; they're the result of every child being supported and challenged to reach their full potential. Whether learning comes easy to a child or not, they are all lifted and benefit from our dedicated teachers, robust programs and a school culture that inspires achievement.

2023 SACE Results

The results of our 2023 Year 12 students are consistent with our NAPLAN results at Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 for Numeracy and Literacy which saw our Emmaus students perform 8.5% above state averages. This represents an average advancement of 16 months ahead compared to their same age average state counterparts.
