Portals

This year we are celebrating a significant milestone - 150 years of education on the site we know today as Emmanuel College. We remain grateful to the founders of our College who responded to the request of Bishop Goold to travel from Ireland to Warrnambool to provide a Catholic education to the students of this district, which was then considered a remote location.

Milestone celebrations present opportunities to remember the traditions of the past and have a sense of pride in being part of Emmanuel College history - to know that we are part of something bigger than the individual. A key element of our 150th Anniversary celebrations in 2022 will be the release of a special commemorative, hardcover book.

Common Threads: 150 years of stories from Emmanuel, St Ann’s & CBC

This is not a dry history book, but a timeline filled with photos, stories and quotes from the people of our community through the decades. Common Threads incorporates many voices into a community-focused, storytelling narrative that is inclusive of Emmanuel’s diverse history. These stories are accompanied by a visual treasure trove of photos sourced from Emmanuel’s archives.

This is a story that connects generations of alumni and it will be available to both current families and alumni as a foundation for our 150th anniversary celebrations.
