Growth requires opportunities!

Emmanuel College co-curricular activities provide each student with additional opportunities to experience a year of growth every year through creatively exploring their interests with like-minded people. 

Participation in co-curricular activities is an important part of any good educational program. Students who take part in activities and programs outside of the boundaries of a typical classroom tend to have higher academic results and greater enjoyment of school life.

Emmanuel College provides a full range of ever-changing activities, events and clubs (over 200 every year and counting) with something to suit all students. A sample includes the following:
