The Emmanuel College Evening of Inspiration is a biennial event held at Warrnambool’s Lighthouse Theatre. At this event we recognise new inductees to the Inspiring Alumni, along with showcasing the talent and achievements of current students. As a College community, we are very proud of the ideas, passion and achievements of the many thousands of students who have passed through our classrooms. People who have followed a great variety of paths in their lives and who have helped shape the communities they live in and serve.

In 2009 the College began to induct past students of Emmanuel, CBC and St Ann’s College as Emmanuel College Inspiring Alumni in recognition of outstanding achievement and service. Like a spark that ignites a flame, the Inspiring Alumni encourage and motivate current and future generations of Emmanuel students. If you know a past student who has made a significant contribution to the local, state, national or international community through their career or serving the community and has demonstrated a commitment to social justice and Catholic ethics, please contact the College.
