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.

Please note, there is a new Sports Uniform tracksuit being introduced to the College between 2019 and 2022. All incoming Year 7 students must wear the new version of the tracksuit. Please bear this in mind if choosing to buy your uniform second hand.

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.

Computers

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.

Please click here for information on the devices recommended for students in 2024.

Book Lists

Booklists for 2024 will be available at the Year 7 Student Orientation Evening.

SmartRider Cards

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. Please see infographic here for more information.

Lost SmartRiders can be replaced at a fee by visiting Student Services.

Transperth

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.
