Emmaus College, Melbourne

Emmaus College is an independent Roman Catholic comprehensive co-educational secondary day school, that serves the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The school has a Main Campus (years 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12) in Vermont South and a Year 9 campus in Burwood. It has a population of approximately 1,400 students. Emmaus College is a member of the Eastern Independent Schools of Melbourne having joined in 1989. Emmaus was used as external shots for Erinsborough High in Neighbours.

Emmaus College was established in February 1980 through the merger of Chavoin College in Burwood (established by the Marist Sisters in 1966) with St Thomas More's Boys College in Vermont South (established by the Christian Brothers in 1968). From 1980 until 2011, Year 11–12 students were located at the Burwood Campus (with the girls who began at Chavoin College from 1977-1979 staying on the Burwood Campus) and Year 7–10 students at the Vermont South Campus. In 2012, Year 9 relocated to Burwood with a dedicated campus and Y9@E Program. All other year levels are now at Vermont South. Since its beginnings Emmaus College has had students from Knox, Whitehorse, Yarra, Boroondara and Monash. Many students have also come from overseas as well as exchange students visiting from sister schools in Italy, Germany and Indonesia.

Emmaus College, St Timothy’s Primary School and Holy Saviour Parish Primary School, all in the suburb of Vermont South, have been in talks to merge. Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools director of learning and regional services Dr Mary Oski said news of the merger has been “overwhelmingly positive”. “We are excited to share that we are actively exploring the potential for a K-12 Catholic Education Hub in Vermont and Vermont South. This innovative concept would offer a seamless K-12 Catholic education for children and families currently attending St Timothy’s Primary School, Holy Saviour Parish Primary School and Emmaus Secondary College.” Oski said. Emmaus College principal Karen Jebb said: “We are excited about the prospect of offering a seamless K-12 educational journey for local families.” There are currently 50 pupils enrolled at St Timothy’s Primary School, 1392 pupils at Emmaus College and 75 from Holy Saviour. The school campuses are within a two-kilometre triangle. It was not known in 2023, how the campuses would be split, or whether all three would be retained, with the plan aiming to go ahead in 2025. In 2024 the plan for the future use of all campuses was unveiled. The previous Holy Saviour Parish Primary School became the junior campus in 2025. Starting in 2026, the year 9 campus now resides at the previous St. Timothy's Primary School, moving away from the Burwood campus. In 2027, the Burwood campus will become a Trade and Training Program for senior students.

Emmaus College is a member of the Eastern Independent Schools of Melbourne (EISM).

Emmaus College has won the following EISM senior premierships.
