As Principal, it is my vision to ensure the provision of a holistic, inspiring and engaging education. The College provides a wide range of opportunities designed to meet the individual needs of each student, enhanced through the acquisition of skills, knowledge and experiences that allow students to maximise their potential and make a worthy contribution as global citizens to the world we live in today.

Please note, if you require new school shoes for your child, or shoes for you, The Athlete’s Foot in Cockburn donates $5.00 to the College P&F Association for every pair of shoes purchased. This is not limited to just school shoes, but available to all families and friends. Mention Emmanuel Catholic College when you purchase.
Please ensure all items of your child’s uniform are clearly labelled with their full name so lost items can be easily returned.
At Emmanuel, students are to bring their own device for use at school. The College has a relationship with Winthrop Australia, however, families can purchase their child’s device at a location of their choice.

Lost SmartRiders can be replaced at a fee by visiting Student Services.
To help make the transition for students as easy as possible, Transperth have compiled some simple tips for new parents and students.
Tip 1: Get started by visiting getonboard.transperth.wa.gov.au
This website has everything parents need to know to help make a child’s move to independent travel as simple and stress-free as possible.
Tip 2: Plan your trip to school
Services often change at the start of the school year. Transperth recommends planning your journey within two weeks of the start of school to ensure you receive the most up-to-date information.
You can use the Transperth app or JourneyPlanner, just don’t forget to change the date to the first day of school.
The College provides its own private bus service to the outlying eastern and southern areas. Information on the Emmanuel Bus is available on the College website Private Bus
