About Us
As a school of faith, hope and love, our vision and mission is for students to become the Authors of their Own Future.
Emmaus Catholic Primary School opened its doors in 2008 with twenty-one students enrolled. Since then, Emmaus has evolved in both enrollment numbers and facilities. Our school takes its name from the scriptural account ‘On the Road to Emmaus’. The story of Jesus on the road to Emmaus is one that beautifully captures all that our fledgling community represents today and into the future. In reading and reflecting upon the story you may note many similarities to our journey to date.
Central to the mission of Emmaus Catholic Primary School is an unequivocal commitment to fostering the dignity, self-esteem and integrity of children, in a Child Safe environment.
We are an educational setting that prides itself on excellence and innovation and who offers an unparalleled combination of play-based learning alongside direct instruction that empowers children to become the authors of their own future.
