🌏 A Big Emmanuel welcome to Bunkyo Junior Girls High School!

This morning we officially welcomed our first cohort of international students for the year from Bunkyo Junior Girls High School in Japan.

After an introduction from our Principal, Mr Robert Tobias, the girls met their Year 9 buddies for the first time. Over the coming week, our visitors will be diving headfirst into College life, soaking up Australian culture and - most importantly - building friendships that span oceans.

We are so proud to continue this special exchange and look forward to making the girls' time here totally unforgettable!

🧡 Everyone Belongs: Celebrating Harmony Day

The College was a vibrant orange as we celebrated Harmony Day today. This significant day in our school calendar is a time to pause and recognise the unique contributions of every member of our College community.

Our celebrations focused on the theme "Everyone Belongs," reflecting our commitment to diversity, unity and the compassion that allows every student to thrive together.

Students practiced active citizenship, donating for free dress or supporting our SRC Bake Sale, with all funds raised given to Anglicare to support refugee families within our region.

A special mention goes to Saxon M. from our ELC, who demonstrated the spirit of the day by completing extra chores at home to earn a donation for our Harmony Day appeal. Thank you, Saxon!

It takes courage to celebrate the differences that make our community strong. We are so proud to see our students taking pride in their own heritage while building a school culture that values every individual.

🧸Emmanuel's annual Teddy Bear's Picnic!

As part of our Kindy Links program, preschool students from our Early Learning Centre joined our current Kindergarten students for a special transition experience today.

It was wonderful to see our "big" Kindy students showing such kindness to their future peers as they shared stories and morning tea with their favorite teddies. Our Therapy Dog, Amber, even came along to join in the 'We're going on a bear hunt' fun!

This event is just the beginning of many experiences designed to help our littlest learners feel right at home as they prepare for their start in Kindergarten next year.

🥧 Record-Breaking "Pi-thusiasm" at Emmanuel!

3.14159... We celebrated the most deliciously mathematical day of the year with our Second Annual Pi Recital Competition last week.

Students from Years 5 to 12 gathered to recite as many digits of π from memory as they could, with hand-sized apple pies on the line for our top performers. A massive congratulations to our overall winner, Kalani K; after winning last year with 76 digits, Kalani returned to absolutely demolish the record, reciting an astonishing 126 digits of Pi!

Congratulations also to our Year Group Winners: Kai K. (29 digits); Kalani K.(126 digits – Overall Winner); Charlie W. (57 digits); Annie D. (24 digits); Alex W. (10 digits); Arthur H. (80 digits); and Olivia R., Manu H. and Harahni-Lace D. (50 digits - joint entry and a special shout out for their musical performance!).

Whether our students recalled 5 digits or 126, we are so proud of everyone who stepped up. You’re all "irrational" in the best possible way!

🏛️ Parliament of NSW 2026 Regional Roadshow!

This week, four of our Secondary Student Leaders headed to Tweed Heads for the NSW Parliament Regional Roadshow - Democracy on the move!

It was an incredible opportunity for our students to engage directly with the democratic process. The day featured Harper A. in a hotly-contested Public Speaking Competition followed by an interactive Youth Forum, where our students joined other young leaders from across the region to discuss the issues that matter most to our community.

We are so proud of our leaders for lending their voices to the conversation and representing the College with such insight and passion.

💡On Tuesday our Primary Captains, Ted G. and Pia D., attended the Halogen National Young Leaders Day at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

It was a day filled with inspiration and "lightbulb" moments as they heard from world-class leaders. A huge highlight for Ted and Pia was meeting and chatting with:
🏃‍♀️ Jacqui Bell – World-record breaking ultra-marathon runner.
🏑 Mark Knowles – Olympic Gold Medalist and former Kookaburras Captain.
🌊 Catherine Laga'aia – Rising star and the lead in the upcoming live-action film 'Moana'.

Our captains have returned with fresh ideas and a wealth of leadership knowledge to share with our school community. We are so proud of how they represented us!

🎶 Breakfast with a Soundtrack!

College mornings just got a lot more melodic with the launch of Brekkie Cafe!

This new initiative features live sets from our talented student musicians during the Breakfast Canteen, creating a vibrant soundtrack for the start of the day.

Last Friday, Peyton H. kicked off the series with a fantastic debut. Accompanied by Mr Cleverley, Peyton captivated the crowd with a four-song set, including a modern cover of Tate McRae’s 'Nostalgia' and a moving rendition of The Beatles' 'Yesterday'.

There was a wonderful sense of community in the air; a perfect way to showcase the incredible artistic talent here at the College. We can’t wait to see more of our young musicians take the Brekkie Cafe stage soon!
