Emmaus Christian College (formerly Tabor Christian College), a Reception to Year 12 school, is a multi-denominational Christian school providing high quality education in an environment of grace, mercy and encouragement where Jesus Christ is served and worshipped as Lord. Our vision is to contribute significantly to the spiritual, cognitive, emotional, social and character development of students and to help them become mature Christian adults who have a profound, positive and godly influence on families, communities and nations, in the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Christian schooling is an extension of the education Christian parents provide for their children in the home. While recognising that the home has the primary responsibility for the education of children, we see that the influence of Christian teachers, peers and curricula is significant in helping children develop as committed Christians and responsible, effective members of society. We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God and is the standard by which all ideologies, philosophies and theologies are to be evaluated. Our education program seeks to be Christ-centred, in accord with Biblical truths and principles, academically sound, and effective in helping individuals to serve God and others. The College is structured into three sub-schools. Each sub-school has established a unique identity with programs designed to best meet the needs and developmental characteristics of our students as they move through the different stages of their schooling. In Primary School (Reception to Year 6) our focus is on Literacy and Numeracy. Teachers focus on providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where each child is encouraged to develop their potential. A broad and engaging curriculum is provided to complement the Literacy and Numeracy foundation. In Middle School, students experience a program designed to best meet the needs of young people entering and passing through adolescence. Pastoral care is a priority..
