Emmaus Catholic School, established in 1994, is situated in the foothills of Woodcroft. Emmaus Catholic School has a strong commitment to working in partnership with parents. The school is committed to providing a holistic and contemporary education in the Catholic tradition to its students from Reception to Year 7. Our students are educated in a learning environment which encourages them to be critical thinkers, challenged and inspired in their learning, discerning what is truly good in our Australian culture, and to think and act on the basis of personal reflection. Importance is placed on our students developing their self esteem, confidence, skills and knowledge. We believe our school is a place of celebration through humour, creativity, tolerance, joy and living in harmony with our environment. Our students are offered extra support through specialist programmes to ensure they are able to achieve their full potential as learners. There is a strong focus on creating a sustainable environment, and the school has undertaken a variety of initiatives to enable the students be aware of their connection to creation. The curriculum at Emmaus Catholic School offers high quality and diverse learning experiences for students and provides curriculum specialisation in the areas of The Arts, Physical Education, Music and Languages. The school also has a strong focus in the area of Information Technology, where students have access to contemporary software and hardware which supports their learning across all curriculum areas. Extra curricula programmes are offered to support students' physical development and to build their skills in working and playing cooperatively with others. Pastoral care is a major focus for Emmaus and the emotional health and wellbeing of our students is supported well by both teachers and the school chaplain. The school provides Before and After School programmes, including Vacation Care during School Holidays.
