Why Emmaus?
Grounded in Christ
At Emmaus Christian College, our Christian faith underpins everything we do, shaping our teaching methods, pastoral care and behaviour management. Students deepen their faith through participation in Home Groups, assemblies, devotions and Christian Studies. Your child will experience an environment where their faith is as important as their academic achievements.
Dedicated teachers
Secondary students are part of a close-knit community. Our dedicated teachers care for each child and foster a strong community spirit within each Home Group, so your child feels seen, heard and valued.
Tailored career pathways
We are dedicated to giving our students the best opportunities, whether they’re aiming for tertiary study or work readiness. Our dedicated staff are passionate about finding the best career pathway options for your child and partnering with you as a family through the journey. Come and discover the wide range of subject offerings at Emmaus.
