Emmanuel College 17 Birmingham Road, Carrara, Queensland 4211

"This is a wonderful school to go to and has lists of room for the sporty person and great teachers"

"This school, although it has nice facilities, does not care in the slightest for the wellbeing of it's students and is much more preoccupied with maintaining it's false image. There is a major bullying problem at this school, however rather than addressing it the staff are far too busy ensuring the students are conforming to their strict uniform guidelines."

"Emphasis on character and the whole person. all kids seem to have more confidence and are respectful of others. Great facilities without gouging the poorer parents like us. Oh, and often tops NAPLAN results, but we don't worry about that. My kids have friends I am also proud of. Too much good to talk about. I don't think it is perfect but pretty close to perfect for us."

"Coming from South Africa, we were in search of a school where our children would be able to settle into our new country with ease. Emmanuel College has proven to be the nurturing, welcoming environment we dreamed of. Both our children couldn't be happier and the school has been instrumental in helping our family feel like home!"

"My Hubby and I were camping at Tipplers campground on the Gold Coast early January 2015, when we arrived we noticed a group of young campers behind us and were a little concerned. As the weekend passed we noticed they were always laughing, we never heard a swear word all weekend, there were no drunken parties, no liquor of any kind. They would invite us to their campfire to chat and the next day would always apologise for keeping us awake at night, I replied that I really enjoyed listening to their conversations, they were filled with light fun I would be proud to have been a parent of any of those young people they gave my Hubby and myself confidence that the future was filled with some kind, considerate mindful young people........our future is in good hands. Curious as to their unique behaviour we asked where they were from, on hearing that they came from Emmanuel College we thought you may like to know your beliefs are being upheld with great character. We loved watching them play together all day, it didn't matter what the weather was like they stayed together and worked the camp together very well. I could see it in their eyes, they had a strength and security that this world does not give them. Proud of you all and Happy to camp with you anytime. Great job Parents and Teachers, keep building more of these types of young people to lead us. Thank you Thank you. Don and Ruth Chisholm"
