Emmanuel Catholic College strives to create and enable a variety of engaging learning opportunities that provide the necessary skills, knowledge and experiences for students to prosper as global citizens in the world. In doing so, we seek to inspire a passion for lifelong learning by meeting the individual needs of all students so that they may achieve their true potential. In acknowledging parents and caregivers as the first and most influential educators, and with its strong links to the local community and industry, the college provides students with opportunities to immerse themselves in an education centred around real life, informed by contemporary research and best practice.
Our staff are passionate and innovative educational practitioners, committed to engaging students in a meaningful and purposeful manner within a 21st century contemporary educational landscape. In undertaking a commitment to a highly contemporary educational philosophy, the college does not operate a traditional timetable but rather classes are run as a mixture of 100- and 50-minute learning blocks with an optional four-day week for Year 12 students (Emmanuel Flexi).
The Lakes College Culinary Club (TLCCC) started with a team of 12 students and has now expanded to over 30 members, showcasing its continued success through participation in college events and even catering for local community organisations. This program not only imparts valuable culinary skills but also teaches the significance of community service, fosters practical abilities and cultivates a professional work ethic.
Spanning ages 11 to 18, the Culinary Club challenges students to create elaborate six-course degustation dinners and manage large-scale catering for college gatherings. Chloe, a Year 7 student, praises the program for imparting essential life skills in an enjoyable way among friends. Likewise, Emily values the connections she forms despite the program’s demanding pace.
Under the guidance of Chef Joel, TLCCC contributes to the college’s ethos and the students’ personal growth. The program’s commitment to local ingredients and culinary adventures is evident as it expands to include barista training and Responsible Service of Alcohol certification. The program seamlessly merges science, art and food technology, promoting discipline and shared responsibility. TLCCC embodies a commitment to service, community engagement and student leadership, cementing its unique character and contribution to The Lakes College.

Powerful learning is central to the Ruyton culture, building on our strong academic reputation. We focus on advancing the learning of every girl through the engagement of intellectual curiosity, building their knowledge and skills about how to learn, and supporting them to achieve their personal best and be exemplary citizens. We believe in real-world learning beyond the classroom, collaborating with the wider community to promote growth, discovery and sustainability.
We empower our girls to lead lives of purpose with courage, character and compassion. Through the development of values and action-focused learning they are inspired to pursue equity and justice for self and others.
