History:
Emmanuel College: 'Learning to know, to do, to live together, to be in Christ'.
In the 1960s St Paul鈥檚 College, Altona North, was established by the Marianist Order. It was inspired by the vision of their founder, Blessed Joseph Chaminade, that through education people would discover their part in God鈥檚 family and understand the message of human dignity and Christ鈥檚 saving love.
In 2006 Emmanuel College was established. Emmanuel 鈥� 鈥楪od with us鈥� 鈥� is one of the prophetic names assigned to Jesus. Jesus is the centre and source of the life and works of Emmanuel College.
The college motto 鈥� Life to the full 鈥� is from John鈥檚 Gospel 鈥� 鈥業 have come that they may have life and have it to the full鈥� (John 10:10).
Description:
Emmanuel College comprises St Paul鈥檚 campus in Altona North and the co-educational Notre Dame campus at Point Cook. The development of the Point Cook campus is supported by the inspiring tradition, powerful resources and strong community links of the existing campus.
Parents are offered the choice between single-sex education and co-education within an innovative teaching and learning and curriculum program operating on both campuses.
This Catholic education of the young people of the College is a partnership with parents based on four pillars of learning: to know, to do, to live together, to be, in Christ.
