Emmaus College Rockhampton - Senior School

What Emmaus College Rockhampton - Senior School does

Emmaus College Rockhampton is a co-educational Catholic secondary college in North Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, operating under the Catholic Education Diocese of Rockhampton. The college serves students from Year 7 through Year 12 across two specialized campuses — the Middle School at 362 Yaamba Road (Years 7-9) and the Senior School at 185 Main Street (Years 10-12) — marketed as a 'Two Schools in One' model. Founded in its current form in 1993, with educational heritage tracing to 1958 through predecessor colleges (St Stanislaus College and Marian Secondary School), Emmaus is described as one of the largest co-educational Catholic colleges in the Diocese of Rockhampton.

The college delivers a comprehensive curriculum spanning both ATAR (university entrance) and Workplace Learning (vocational) pathways, including Certificate III courses in Allied Health, Early Childhood Education and Care, and Fitness delivered through Registered Training Organisation partnerships. Its core technology is a 1:1 Student Laptop Program in which all Year 7-12 students hire a laptop from the college for the academic year, supported by modern libraries with WiFi and IT Helpdesk on both campuses. Co-curricular offerings are extensive and include an Instrumental Music Program (Concert Band, Jazz Band, String Ensemble, Choir, Drumline, Guitar Ensemble), an annual full-scale musical production (over 100 students participating, 38+ year tradition since 1985), an interschool sports program with representation at Rockhampton District, Capricornia, and Queensland levels, academic competitions, and pastoral care structures including Tutorial teachers, Heads of Year, Counsellors, a Campus Minister, and an Indigenous Education Liaison Officer.

The business model is not-for-profit, funded through an All-Inclusive Education Fee (subscription-style, billed annually) plus a Building Levy and Specific Purpose charges, supplemented by Federal and State Government Grants whose amounts are determined by the means-tested Capacity to Contribute assessment. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via an active waitlist enrollment process that prioritizes talent, attitude, and cultural fit alongside academic potential. Key partnerships include CQUniversity and James Cook University for tertiary pathway promotion, the Rockhampton Innovative Networking Group (RING) for career-readiness programming, and community service alliances with Caritas Australia, the Jason Rich Foundation, and the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.
