Offers of places will be posted mid-October in the year your child is in Year 5.

One of the greatest benefits of co-education is the development of the kinds of social skills which enable boys and girls to interact as part of their normal day to day routine.  Boys and girls are equally well represented among the high VCE achievers and learn alongside each other in a very positive and productive way.

Research on co-educational versus single sex education is not conclusive.  A key determinate factor is often the quality of the school and the teachers in the classrooms rather than the gender issue. Our teachers are experts in a co-educational setting.

Notwithstanding, families will have their own views on this matter.  Parent’s perspectives of their own education may influence their decision making.  We simply ask that you observe our students in a co-educational environment, and hopefully, you will come to the conclusion the co-education ensures a well-rounded education.  After all, our students have been in a co-educational environment all their lives, in school, their families and the wider community.  We believe that a co-educational environment best prepares students for life.

We have a diverse and extensive music/drama/dance department, where our students excel. We have recently opened a new state-of-the-art Music and Media building, the Marian Centre, to meet the needs of our growing music and media learning areas. We offer Year 7 and 8 music instrumental lessons to all students as well as individual instrumental lessons for students with a passion for playing one or more instruments.

One of the highlights of each year is the College Production in which the music, dance and drama departments come together to stage the annual musical.  In recent years productions have included; the multi-award-winning Anastasia, Legally Blonde, Hairspray, Seussical the Musical, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Anything Goes, and Oliver!

Students have the opportunity to participate in various music ensembles as well as a school orchestra, choirs and the Emmaus Soul/Blues band. These groups rehearse weekly and perform publicly on a regular basis.

The College offers inter-house sporting activities in swimming, athletics and cross-country. Students can also compete in a range of summer and winter sports including football, soccer, netball, cricket, hockey, basketball, tennis, badminton, touch rugby, ultimate frisbee, table tennis, etc. The College belongs to the Eastern Independent Schools of Melbourne (EISM) which provides the competition structure for inter-school sports. All students have the opportunity to represent the College in summer and winter sports.

We endeavour to maintain a balanced ratio of male and female students – 50% male and 50% female.

MACS, together with St Timothy’s Primary School, Holy Saviour Parish School, are actively exploring the potential development of a K-12 Catholic Education Hub for the Vermont and Vermont South communities, in partnership with Emmaus College.

The proposed development is a K-12 Education Hub to allow for a seamless Catholic education journey from kindergarten through to Year 12. We are in the early days of planning and development of this proposal and are working through the details of what this might look like.

Yes, Emmaus has capacity to take more students, and operates in collaboration with other Catholic secondary schools in the Eastern Suburbs.

We are actively exploring this exciting proposal which represents a visionary step towards creating an educational environment that fosters growth, resilience, and excellence. We are still in the early days of planning and development and conversations are ongoing between all three school communities.

Given current enrolment numbers at both St Timothy’s Primary School, Vermont and Holy Saviour Parish School, Vermont South, and the unique geographical and community footprint, there is an opportunity to explore a new and more innovative way of delivering K-12 education that will best serve the educational needs of our community and provide continuity in their education.

All three school principals and their school communities are excited by the proposal of a K-12 Catholic Education Hub for the Vermont and Vermont South communities. We are mindful of the importance of continuing conversations and cooperation between members of the communities and parishes to which St Timothy’s, Holy Saviour, and Emmaus College belong.

All fee structures will be considered as part of the proposal. There will be no changes to fees in 2024.

A number of potential scenarios will be explored as part of this proposal as part of providing a K-12 Catholic Education Hub.

We are still in the early days of planning and development and conversations are ongoing between all three school communities to ensure any proposal aligns with the needs and preferences of the school communities.

Yes, collaboration is at the heart of this endeavour.

No, the only schools currently being considered in this proposal are St Timothy’s Primary School, Holy Saviour Parish School and Emmaus College.

We are in the early days of planning and development, and working through the details of what this ultimately might look like.

A range of stakeholders have been informed of this proposal, including families and staff of all three school communities, as well as neighbouring Catholic schools, local parish priests and the Independent Education Union.

As we work through this proposal, all three schools will continue to operate on a business-as-usual basis, with no changes to staff, leadership or educational approach in 2024. Any changes to the delivery of Catholic primary school education in the area will be accompanied by unwavering support for existing families, with the same level of support provided to our valued teachers and support staff.

A K-12 Catholic Education Hub that will best serve the educational needs of our community and provide continuity in education is an exciting proposal for both current and future students and families. As we work through this proposal, all three schools will continue to operate on a business-as-usual basis, and there will continue to be opportunities for parent discussion and feedback through 2024.

We encourage any parent to share their thoughts and suggestions with their school principal on this proposal. There have already been parent information sessions held at each school, including a joint information session, bringing together all three school communities for the very first time to discuss this. There will continue to be opportunities for parent discussion and feedback through 2024.

We encourage any parent to share their thoughts and suggestions with their school principal on this proposal, including any questions.

Yes, students from St Timothy’s and Holy Saviour will be guaranteed enrolment at Emmaus College. A key pillar of this concept is the provision of seamless K-12 Catholic education opportunities. The enrolment policy for Emmaus College gives priority to our Catholic primary schools and can be found on the Emmaus website.

The Emmaus College enrolment policy is available on the Emmaus website. Families who live within the current boundaries of St Timothy’s or Holy Saviour will be able to enrol in the future primary education offering.

As we work through this proposal, all three schools will operate on a business-as-usual basis, with no changes to leadership and educational approach in 2024.

We are working through the operational details including the relevant approval processes. There will continue to be opportunities for discussion and feedback through 2024.

The planning regarding the proposal has already begun and will continue to be actively explored throughout 2024. Should this proposal proceed, it is expected that this transformative hub would be in place by the commencement of the 2025 school year.

Parent information sessions have been held at each school, including a joint information session, bringing together all three school communities for the very first time. The principals of each of the three schools are working together to seek opportunities to encourage collaboration and friendship between students and families from all schools throughout 2024.

We are committed to providing primary Catholic education in Vermont and this process will enable us to explore a number of options for our communities now and into the future. As we work through this proposal, we intend to operate on a business-as-usual basis, with no changes to staff, leadership or educational approach in 2024.
