CHAPLAIN
Although I have been associated with the College since its inception nearly twenty years ago, this year has opened for me a new insight into the busy life of an exceptional community dedicated to educating all. My eyes have been opened to the holistic approach education has embraced. How radically different it is from when I was a secondary student. The teachers on our staff have an amazing relationship with their students; it is one of trust, familiarity and respect. The vast majority of the student body is very content and involve themselves in the many activities offered by the College. They take pride in Emmanuel.

FAITH GUIDANCE If you want your child to succeed at Emmanuel and get the best results for your investment may I venture some amateur advice to parents?
PARENTING TIPS • Build your child’s confidence, especially ability, personality, talents • Talk up the College’s attributes. This can be infectious; be positive • Encourage your child to take pride in their appearance; the uniform represents so much
Education that stops at the end of the school • day is an incomplete education. Students need to continue school work and learning outside of school
Teachers invest their time to educate your • children. Please be on their side. What they are seeking is what you want to receive
Emmanuel is a Catholic College. If you want a • faith element in your child’s life it starts with you.
We can build on what you have given them As I sit at my desk, the promise of a superbly beautiful day is dawning, it gives me pause to think how grateful I should be to our Creator who designed the magnificence of our universe. Too often I absorb myself in the little noisy issues of life and forget the big issues of life.
One of those big ones is the welcome I have received as College Chaplain. When Mr Di Gregorio invited me to assume this role, I was overjoyed.
To return to a little slice of the life that gave me so much happiness in the past was more than I could have hoped for. For that I shall be ever grateful.
Fr Bryan Rosling College Chaplain
