Christian Foundation

Emmanuel College was established in 1985 by a group of parents and staff wanting a school based on Christian values. The teachers are committed Christians who come from a broad range of denominations. Students are taught in an environment which emphasises Christian values and one that prepares them for living with integrity and high standards. The Emmanuel Journey Program provides specific and intentional opportunities for students to learn and practice values and virtues that form part of the College ethos. The program exposes students to the cumulative effect of years of practice of the virtues, namely, Faith, Hope, Compassion, Justice, Self-Control, Courage, Integrity and Wisdom. The Program is aligned to the College's Student Leadership Development Program for all students.
