Emmaus Christian College Incorporated

Discerning a suitable school partnership is an important decision for families and is about much more than just ‘education’. Established in 1979, Emmaus Christian College is a non-denominational distinctly Christian coeducational F-12 learning community grounded in Biblical principles. Emmaus operates across two metropolitan campuses, South Plympton (F – Year 12), and Brooklyn Park (ELC – Year 6). Students attending the Brooklyn Park campus for their Junior School years join the South Plympton campus for year 7 to 12 representing a seamless educational pathway. Access to our South Plympton campus is supported by our extensive private bus network.

In partnership with families we believe a deep personal faith is ‘caught’ not just ‘taught’ through the nurturing and loving discipleship of our passionate all Christian staff. At Emmaus we believe every child is unique and made in the image of God. Every child has been blessed with unique God given gifts and abilities that Emmaus, in partnership with families, nurture to their fullest. As a result, our students excel in a wide range of areas including academic, sporting, cultural, and service. We give glory to God for the achievement and success of our students and pray they use their achievements to honour God and bring glory to His kingdom.

We want students to know that they are loved by God, to know that they are not a chance creation, but a unique individual deliberately created; that God’s love towards each of us was demonstrated in Jesus. From an understanding of this, we want our students to know their worth, and become mature Christian adults.

We see the pursuit of excellence as important. Each student will learn to know and develop the unique set of abilities God has given him or her so that as mature Christian adults they will have a positive, Godly influence on their world. The Word of God is central to what we do. As a College community we will seek to constantly grow in our understanding of God and His call on our lives both individually and corporately.

We offer a nurturing environment where respect for both ourselves and others is to be a characteristic. This speaks of a community where the diversity of gifts and abilities are fostered and celebrated, where empathy and compassion are evident and serving others is an aspect of worship. We are committed to be responsive to the needs of the world which our students will inhabit in the future and the opportunities that will be available for Christians to have an impact in that world for the glory of God.
