FAMILY ENGAGEMENT

EMMAUS COMMUNITY TEAM

As a welcoming and inclusive school, community sits at the heart of who we are; we prioritise partnership between school and home in all that we do.

As a representative body the Emmaus Community Team exists as parents and carers on a voluntary basis within our community.

The Emmaus Community Team builds partnerships between school and home in a social, academic and wellbeing sense. Those who attend represent the voices of the parent community.

Our bi termly Emmaus Community Team meetings are open to all interested parents, carers and community members. Thus, all in the Emmaus community who wish to attend these meetings have a sense of all that is taking place in school life.  

It is important to note that, like any Catholic governance model, the Emmaus Community Team is not a decision making body. The Emmaus Community Team is a vital sounding board to inform decision making in our school. This responsibility in Catholic schools rests with the Principal.

2026 EMMAUS COMMUNITY TEAM MEMBERS:-

Chairperson/s:  Kimberley Roberts

Secretary: Rachel Allan

In listening to one another we are informed of all that is taking place in school life whilst clarifying future directions needing to be taken.
