What if you could own your future?
At Immanuel we ask our students what if because life is a journey and learning never stops. We don’t just guide students to achieve academic excellence, we teach them to find their own pathway and discover their own talents and interests. Trusted, respected, and supported, they are empowered to make their own decisions, learn from their own mistakes, and become confident self-motivated driven young adults ready to pursue the path they choose. An Immanuel education teaches young adults to own their future, discover their own opportunities, and achieve their own success.
Developing Great People What kind of adult will they become? Our measure of success are the things they learn at Immanuel that stays with our graduates 5, 10, 15, 20 years into the future. It’s about guiding young people to be great human-beings; becoming independent young adults who can selfmanage and are ready to take on the world.

Our Campus & Facilities Spaces matter. They shape the way we learn, work, think and feel. Immanuel has thought deeply about, and invested heavily in, how the campus activates education.
6
The innovative design encourages students to take ownership of their school, and feel like they belong in the grounds and learning spaces. Set on over 20 hectares, the spacious grounds, ovals, and courts create calming natural spaces between, and around the Middle School, Senior School, and Boarding House. These separate ‘mini campuses’ foster the community of
a village, but also build the unity of a cohort. Designed to reflect modern workplaces, learning spaces prepare students to work maturely and collaboratively. Experimenting with structure, and blending the indoor with outdoor, education spills from one space into the other, encouraging learning that extends beyond the classroom.

Our Learning Education is a journey with happy, successful people choosing pathways that take them to places where they are energized and self-fulfilled. But only they can make those decisions. Immanuel drives and nurtures students to explore a wide variety of opportunities and interests. To ask what if? Exposing students to as much new knowledge and as many new experiences as possible, we give them the support they need to step outside their comfort zone, try new things, fail at others, and help them discover their own unique journey. Carefully scaffolded from their first day in Year 7 through to the end of Year 12, it is a carefully and strategically planned program that creates curious, independent students and well‑rounded human beings.

Learning Support & Extension
We value the difference between individuals within our community and ensure that every student is included, accepted, understood and valued. Our Student Diversity team lifts students to help them become extraordinary, whether they’re gifted and talented, need learning support, or speak English as an additional language.
Indigenous Education Immanuel College values and respects Kaurna people as the traditional custodians and acknowledge that their spiritual beliefs and cultural connections to this country are as important today, as they were in the past. Immanuel College has a strong history of Indigenous students dating back to the early 1960s and many of our Indigenous students are supported through various programs and initiatives. We offer scholarships to provide greater access to additional education choices for Indigenous students.
Wellbeing 2 4
At Immanuel, we want every student to feel known, valued, cared for and connected to their school community. Our ethos ensures that pastoral care and student wellbeing is at the centre of everything we do, and that positive respectful relationships underpins our culture.
Outdoor Education
Outdoor Education Programs at Immanuel help students develop relationships with others and nature. Students curate skills from Middle School through to Year 10, and electively in Years 11 and 12, to become informed and courageous individuals. 1.

Middle School What if everyday I got to try something new? Immanuel’s biggest goal with Middle School students is for them to answer two questions. What am I good at? And what do I love doing? If our students can answer those two questions, they are ready for Senior School. The Middle School is the home to Years 7-9, the physical and emotional rollercoaster from age 13 to 15. Developed around the concept of a mall, the Middle School is a connected space that students can take ownership of, feeling like they belong. Year 7 is all about teaching mature and independent learning, taking those first steps away from childhood. From the start our students are immersed in the opportunities of the future. Digital and Design Technology facilities support students in discovering, developing and solving problems in authentic situations. Throughout the next three years they try everything, discovering talents, weaknesses, loves, and dislikes. It’s a time when teachers can help students develop support systems and strategies for all kinds of learning needs. Outside the classroom there are more learning opportunities, with experts giving guest classes in everything from philosophy to rocket science. Capping off Year 9 they embark on ‘The Journey,’ a program centred around adolescent development that includes service learning and a 10-day camp where they learn to live independently, making big strides toward adulthood. When they graduate from Middle School, they’re ready to meet the challenges of Senior School, confident in their abilities, passionate about their interests, and secure in strong bonds with their classmates.

Year 9 Journey
What if I was much stronger than I thought? Our Year 9 Journey Program provides a healthy rite of passage to prepare students for adulthood. We use carefully constructed spiritual, emotional and physical challenges to build our students’ resilience, independence and self‑confidence. One of our challenges – a ten‑day camp in the Flinders Ranges – helps them develop group management, team building, and outdoor skills and fosters physical, spiritual and emotional growth. Our unique IMPACT (Immanuel Meaning Purpse Action Collaboration) Project helps
students establish, monitor and achieve personal goals, develop collaboration and confidence all while bringing value to others in our community. Our students have created everything from a children’s book to help young asthma sufferers, to providing care packages for people who are homeless. In Year 9 they are given more opportunities to develop leadership skills as they set the example and mentor younger students. At the end of Year 9, students are prepared and ready to step up into Senior School with confidence.

Senior School
What if I didn’t have to wait; I can chase my dreams now Senior School, Years 10, 11 and 12, builds on the questions answered in Middle School. What am I good at? What do I love doing? Further exploring different subjects, students begin refining these thoughts and settling on the journey they want to pursue, eventually choosing from 40 electives as part of the Year 10 Year of Discovery to over 50 Year 12 subjects. Senior School is about finding your thing. The Senior School offers new levels of independence, with open spaces and creative learning environments that reflect modern workplaces. Spread across the Margaret Ames building and the brand-new Discovery Centre, students can access everything from meeting rooms and pitching spaces, through to greenscreens and a podcasting studio. Using these innovative spaces, students are encouraged to present assessment in non-traditional ways, demonstrating their understanding with the strongest possible response. Other pathways will take advantage of the state-of-the-art design, engineering, and manufacturing facilities, or the professional kitchen, art studio and fashion workshop, to develop fully realized projects that have real world impact. We offer the opportunity for students to achieve their South Australian Certificate of Education
Outstanding Results Over one-third of our students consistently achieve ATARs over 90, an impressive number of merits awardees and 100% SACE completion. And while student achievement & academic success are important, it’s only part of the story.
16
(SACE) based on the Australian Curriculum. The SACE is an internationally recognised qualification that helps students develop capabilities to live, learn, work, and participate successfully in an everchanging society. Beyond academic studies, students are also exposed to life learning during their time in the Senior School. Visiting speakers regularly teach students about issues facing young people in the 21st Century, and students are also encouraged to engage with their community through acts of charity and service. When a Year 12 student graduates Immanuel, they’re not just leaving with a future focussed education, they leave with a strong sense of self, a sense of direction, a sense of purpose, and close connections with their classmates and the wider community.
At Immanuel we have a unique approach to Year 10; a milestone as students transition from Middle to Senior School and begin to lay the foundations for their final years at school and beyond. Our Year 10 Year of Discovery supports students to find their passion while continuing to build knowledge and skills in the core learning areas. Students can choose from 40 innovative elective subjects in Year 10, for example How to Catch a Murderer, Podcasting, The Side Hustle, Music Theatre, Beats and Bites: Sound Production and Drone Craft to name a few. Every student explores their future by completing Exploring Identities and Futures (EIF). EIF prepares students for a different way of thinking and learning in Senior School. As students begin their SACE journey, they build the knowledge, skills, and capabilities required to be thriving learners and are empowered to take ownership of where their pathway leads.

Boarding What if home didn’t feel so far away?
Co-ed boarding has been a central part of Immanuel since day one in 1895, and today’s Boarding House still has its place in the heart of the campus. At Immanuel, boarding is more than just accommodation, it is a supported journey to independence. One of the lasting legacies we give our Boarders the chance to create a large extended family and form close, real friendships. We provide a family-style environment for 170 Boarders each year in Australia’s third oldest co‑educational Boarding House. Our Boarders share the common areas, developing a second family, learning to look after their spaces and live together. The common areas are also places to relax and have fun, as well as regularly organised activities on and off campus. Younger students live in individual rooms within the main Boarding House, graduating to units during senior years and finally shared houses in Year 12, where students can access their own kitchen and lounge facilities. We believe that co-ed boarding encourages young people to develop healthy relationships and good social skills that will serve them well into the future. Gender exclusive zones in the Boarding House support this process and our caring and experienced staff guide Boarders as they grow in confidence with their increasing independence. A local GP with experience in adolescent mental health is also regularly available to support Boarders. Boarder wellbeing is our first priority. Specialist tutors are on-hand to support Boarders in their studies and they have easy, everyday access to our world-class facilities. including gym, dance studio, swimming centre, and an extensive co‑curricular sports, clubs and music program. By the time a Boarder leaves Immanuel, they are prepared for living out of home, alone or with other people, ready to finish this journey and embark on the next.

Our Community

What if you could be part of a place that becomes part of you? In exploring the essence of Immanuel, a recurring theme that resonates with individuals is our vibrant community. The collective spirit of our students, accompanied by over 13,000 Old Scholars and the wider network of parents and friends, creates a unique sense of connection that defines the Immanuel experience. At the core of student life in Immanuel College is the concept of "House," a pivotal element that contributes to the development of students' sense of belonging and nurtures a spirit of unity within the school and community. Each student is a member of a House, and the activities associated with it complement our comprehensive well-being programs. Throughout the year, we organise events that serve as opportunities for current parents and friends to connect, fostering fellowship and friendship within our community. Additionally, we actively support parents in navigating the challenges of raising adolescents

through a series of seminars led by experts in relevant fields. Immanuel holds a special place in the hearts of our Old Scholars, who cherish fond memories of their school days. Upon graduation, students become lifelong members of the Immanuel College Old Scholars Association (ICOSA), granting them access to a diverse array of regular reunions, events, and activities. Remarkably, even those who graduated over five decades ago eagerly anticipate our special Senior Old Scholars Assembly, exemplifying the enduring bond that ties generations of Immanuel alumni together.

Immanuel never leaves you
When a student graduates Immanuel, they leave imprinted with our DNA.
It is shared by everyone who has gone before them, and all those who will follow. It shapes them daily, to be better people. It’s not something you can teach in a lesson, although it grows in a classroom. It’s not something you can learn from a coach, although you might build upon it on the sports field. And it’s not something you can pick up from a curriculum, although it might enrich your experience. It is an engrained motivation to be better to yourself and to others. Because people who are proud of themselves, and who are well connected, live happier, more successful lives. So how does Immanuel instil this DNA? We lead. We model grace, hard work, trust, respect and service. We model grace in the classroom, in the corridors, and on the sports field. We model service and good works through activities that have real results in the community. We work hard for our students, and they work hard for us. And most importantly, we trust and respect that they will act maturely, that they will be self-motivated and responsible, and that they will help look after those around them. This sense of belonging provides them the self-confidence and support to put their hand up in class, to express themselves in art, and to call for the ball.
It empowers them to ask ‘What if?’

2026 Fee Schedule
Tuition fees include loan text books that are not listed in the annual booklist, all excursions for core subjects, student computer and internet services. The College aims to build in as many costs as possible into the tuition fee and to thereby minimise the number of ‘extras’ appearing on school fees accounts. Nonetheless, additional charges will be incurred where students have a choice about whether or not to incur a particular cost, or where they have options from which to choose and there is a substantial difference in the cost of the options on offer. Examples include: 1.
Stationery – including any workbooks that might be required for the subjects selected and a graphics calculator for senior maths, depending on subject selections.
2.
Bus Service – Our bus ticketing system is run fully online. You can register, book and pay for the tickets through the BusMinder app. A Term pass costs $300 per term or a multi-trip pass is $3.75 per trip.
3.
Outdoor Education Program – these are incorporated into the tuition fee for Year 7, and an ‘additional’ charge in Years 8, 9 and 10.
4.
Co-Curricular Program – most of the options are provided at no extra cost to parents. Exceptions include the music camp if the student is involved in one or more of the bands; MindChange for GATE students; and sailing.
5.
Sports Trips – occasionally, a ‘firsts’ football team, netball team or dance team might travel interstate to compete. These trips involve a small number of students and are an additional charge.
6.
Overseas Travel – for example, optional trips for German, Japanese and Science are paid for at the time of the trip.
7.
Instrument Hire and Tuition – music students have the option of hiring an instrument from the College for $300 per annum. If private instrumental tuition is required (as with most music students), the College helps to facilitate the contact with a suitable teacher and parents pay the teacher directly (suggested rate of $36 per half hour lesson and 7 to 8 lessons per term is recommended).
8.
VET – If a student pursues a VET course that involves an external service provider, the College contributes up to $750 per semester towards that cost and parents pay any excess above this.
FINANCIAL QUERIES Full Terms and Conditions of payment of Fees are detailed in the Enrolment Contract. Any queries regarding fees or the conditions as described in the Enrolment Contract can be directed to the College’s Director of Business, Mr Shane McGregor on 8375 1700.
