The name Emmaus symbolises that we are all on a journey with our Lord. The disciples’ walk to Emmaus is described as beginning a developing experience of Christ which relates well to our commitment to providing a Catholic education with Christ at the Centre.

The Emmaus story is our story and we recount it to our children, young people, parents and stakeholders so that they recognise Emmaus Catholic MAC and everything that is so unique and special about us.
