Chaplaincy

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”

A.W Tozer

We believe in nurturing the whole child – academically, emotionally and spiritually. As a multi-denominational Christian school, we partner with families to nurture faith, character, and a deep sense of purpose in every student.

Christian values are woven into daily life at Emmanuel. With dedicated chaplains, supported by a layered pastoral care team, in both the Junior and Senior Schools, students are guided and supported through authentic relationships, weekly chapel gatherings, and engaging lunchtime programs, helping them grow in faith and develop a strong sense of belonging and purpose.

As they grow, your child will develop a faith that gives them strength, purpose, and hope. They will leave Emmanuel with a clear understanding of who they are, what they believe, and the assurance of their eternal destiny.

Chaplaincy initiatives

Guided by faith

Weekly chapel

Your child will participate in weekly chapel, a time for worship, prayer, and reflection. Chapel is a joyful and uplifting part of school life, developing a sense of community and connection. It provides a space where students can grow in faith, be encouraged, and explore Christian values in a meaningful way helping to shape their spiritual journey.

Events

Your child will be involved in chaplaincy events throughout the year that nurture faith, wisdom, and integrity. These gatherings provide opportunities for reflection, gratitude, and celebration, reinforcing Christian values and strengthening character.

Through worship, prayer, and shared moments of remembrance, your child will be encouraged to grow spiritually and appreciate the deeper meaning behind significant events in the school year.

Compass Learning

Your child鈥檚 learning journey is guided by our Compass, which forms the foundation of all learning, integrating faith, wisdom, integrity, justice, courage, compassion, self-control, and hope into every experience.

Through various Compass programs, they will develop the skills and values to engage intelligently and hopefully with the world. Equipped with strong character, they will grow in confidence and purpose, ready to make a meaningful impact.
