Emmanuel College, Carrara | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Having relocated from Sydney, we were anxious to ensure we found a school that would embrace, nurture and develop our 3 children, and bring out the best in their abilities academically and athletically.

We’ve sure been blessed to find and be accepted into the Emmanuel College family, and our kids have thrived in the almost 3 years they’ve been there.

They’ve found friendship groups that share the same interests, passion and morals. The familes and friendships we’ve made from the school have also been invaluable, helping us settle into our new life in SEQ.

With a great new age principal, I’m confident the school will continue to grow and evolve into one of the premier schools within the region.

We’ve been grateful for the opportunities this school has presented our children so far, and are looking forward to seeing how far they will develop until the day they graduate.

Emphasis on character and the whole person. all kids seem to have more confidence and are respectful of others. Great facilities without gouging the poorer parents like us. Oh, and often tops NAPLAN results, but we don’t worry about that. My kids have friends I am also proud of. Too much good to talk about. I don’t think it is perfect but pretty close to perfect for us.

This school, although it has nice facilities, does not care in the slightest for the wellbeing of it’s students and is much more preoccupied with maintaining it’s false image. There is a major bullying problem at this school, however rather than addressing it the staff are far too busy ensuring the students are conforming to their strict uniform guidelines.

My Hubby and I were camping at Tipplers campground on the Gold Coast early January 2015, when we arrived we noticed a group of young campers behind us and were a little concerned.

As the weekend passed we noticed they were always laughing, we never heard a swear word all weekend, there were no drunken parties, no liquor of any kind. They would invite us to their campfire to chat and the next day would always apologise for keeping us awake at night, I replied that I really enjoyed listening to their conversations, they were filled with light fun I would be proud to have been a parent of any of those young people they gave my Hubby and myself confidence that the future was filled with some kind, considerate mindful young people……..our future is in good hands.

Curious as to their unique behaviour we asked where they were from, on hearing that they came from Emmanuel College we thought you may like to know your beliefs are being upheld with great character. We loved watching them play together all day, it didn’t matter what the weather was like they stayed together and worked the camp together very well.
I could see it in their eyes, they had a strength and security that this world does not give them. Proud of you all and Happy to camp with you anytime. Great job Parents and Teachers, keep building more of these types of young people to lead us. Thank you Thank you.

Coming from South Africa, we were in search of a school where our children would be able to settle into our new country with ease. Emmanuel College has proven to be the nurturing, welcoming environment we dreamed of. Both our children couldn’t be happier and the school has been instrumental in helping our family feel like home!
