25.01.2022 Congratulations to our rowers last weekend at their regatta! The girls came in at first place overall and the boys at third place! Fantastic effort by all

24.01.2022 Fore! On the weekend, 26 of our senior students, accompanied by Assistant Dean Chris Morris, headed off to Victoria Park for a golf lesson from the pros, hit the green for some pitching and putting, then parked at the 19th hole for lunch. Part of Emmanuel’s Employability Program, the golf day helps set up our students for the corporate world post-uni - as well as being a lot of fun!

24.01.2022 At our annual Bannockburn Community Awards Dinner we recognise our students who have contributed to community service in the College and the wider community.

18.01.2022 Welcome back, Blue Dogs! Changes a-plenty this semester, some to ensure we’re as COVID-safe as possible and some awesome changes, too like this:

16.01.2022 EMC Valedictory Presentation dinner 2020

16.01.2022 In a year that's been challenging for everyone, it’s important to us that students interested in living at Emmanuel College in 2021 don't face any new financial barriers to doing so. For this reason, we've decided to freeze fees for 2021 at 2020 levels. This applies both to new students and to current students returning in 2021. We also continue to offer a generous scholarship and bursary program so that college life can be an option for even more students. It’s our hope that... after a year 12 journey affected by COVID-19, students starting uni in 2021 will be able to enjoy the college experience and, in particular, the unique benefits Emmanuel College has to offer. Visit our website to download the 2021 fee structure, or to arrange a private tour of the college, an online information session or a visit to your school. See more

We also celebrated and expressed our thanks to immediate past Principal Dr Jane Thomson, and unveiled the wonderful portrait of Dr Thomson by artist Judith Sinnamon. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate, particularly our students and young alumni, part of our collective future.
