I look forward to welcoming you to the College and our wonderful school community. The information below is designed to assist parents and students in transitioning into the College as seamlessly as possible. Please take the time to read the information below and if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact the College.
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.
Blessed with outstanding facilities, we are a constantly evolving College operating within a highly contemporary educational landscape. I trust you will enjoy your time at Emmanuel.

How to submit an absence with the SEQTA Engage App
Please report any absence by 9:00am on the day your child(ren) will be away
The Uniform Shop opening hours and contact details can be found here.
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 laptop device (Apple MacBook) for use at school. The College has a partnership with Winthrop Australia, however, families can purchase their child’s device at a location of their choice.
Please click here for information on the devices recommended for students from 2024 onwards.
Booklists are available to current families under the SEQTA Engage App > Documents section. New families will receive booklists when they become available.
Within the first few weeks of starting at the College, all students are provided with a new Emmanuel branded Transperth SmartRider.
SmartRider Cards can be used for Transperth Services, the Private Emmanuel School Bus and to purchase food at the Canteen via FlexiSchools.
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.
Please note, this service will cease to operate at the end of 2025.
The College provides its own private bus service to the outlying eastern and southern areas. Information on the Emmanuel Bus is available on the Private Bus page.
Please note: The College holds a waitlist for families who wish to enrol at Emmanuel, therefore if you no longer wish to send your child to Emmanuel Catholic College, we ask that you please notify us at your earliest convenience by contacting the College Registrar on 9414 4055 or enrolments@emmanuel.wa.edu.au
