About our school
At Emmaus College, our commitment to educational excellence from Prep to Year 12 is rooted in our vision for learning: “Excellence in learning within a contemporary Christian community.” This vision, encapsulated in what we proudly call “the Emmaus way,” permeates every aspect of college life, fostering the intellectual, spiritual, physical, social, emotional, ethical, and cultural dimensions of our students.
The Emmaus way is practised through our four Signature Practices:
Deepening learning through quality pedagogy,
Calm connected classrooms
Collaborative, caring Professional Partnership
Christian identity.
Established in 2002 by the Catholic community, in partnership with the Anglican, Lutheran, and Uniting Churches in Jimboomba, our college is built on foundations of faith and community spirit.
Situated on 28 acres, our dynamic learning environment encourages students to discover and develop their unique gifts and abilities, equipping them with the academic and personal skills needed to thrive in the 21st century. Central to our philosophy is our motto, “Walking with Christ,” which guides the lived experience of our students. This ambition is not only hope-filled but also life-giving, shaping our students into young adults of integrity who are well-prepared to enter and positively impact the modern world.
At Emmaus College, we are proud to be an ecumenical P–12 community founded in partnership with the Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, and Uniting Churches. Rooted in Gospel values, our mission is to inspire young people to grow in faith, knowledge, and character.
With a reputation for academic excellence, flourishing arts and sporting programs, and a unique agricultural learning experience, Emmaus offers diverse opportunities for every student. Guided by integrity, hope, justice, and compassion, we nurture young people to become confident learners and responsible citizens who care for creation and contribute positively to the world.
