โ๏ธ EMMAUS TAKES ON THE VINNIES WINTER SLEEPOUT ๐ Recently, we held our Vinnies NSW Winter Appeal where a number of students and staff slept at school in support of tackling homelessness. During the evening, students participated in activities that were aimed at portraying the reality of homelessness and the impact this can have on an individualโs education, work, clothing and access to food. ๐๐ A special thanks to Eleanor, the President of the St Clair branch of the St Vincent de Paul Society who visited Emmaus to speak with students and Jennie from Coles in Stanhope Gardens who helped us by supplying the boxes that were used to build shelters. ๐ฅฐ We are very proud of our students and staff who braved the night to raise awareness for homelessness and the devastating impact it has on our wider community. ๐ #VinniesNSW #VinniesWinterSleepout

Recently, Year 11 student, Claudia D, represented the College at the Roslyn Park Theatre to watch the Bangarra Dance Theatre performance of Illume through CAPTIVATE. ๐โจ Illume is a collaboration between choreographer Frances Rings and visual artist Darrell Sibosado, exploring the awe of light - the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds - charting the impact of light pollution in a climate emergency. It asks the urgent question โIs the deep wisdom passed down from Elders enough to illuminate a path forward from the shadows of a dark future?โ Claudia harnessed the opportunity to represent the College at the performance, contributing to her upcoming Dance assessment where she will be studying a similar piece. Keep up the great work Claudia! ๐ โญ
