welfare of those students each day. Students are selected from each house for
various leadership positions such as house captain and SRC members. Personal
development for Years 7 to 12 students is taught within both the PDH lessons
and the Jewish Studies lessons. Year 10 students have the opportunity, through
the work experience program, to sample their chosen career path. All students
have access to counselling. Programs for younger students include a social
skills program, membership of the SRC (from Year 2), and peer support.

Special features: A differentiated curriculum is in place at Emanuel
to provide every student with challenging and stimulating classroom
experiences. Students at either end of the academic spectrum are also able to
utilise the specialist learning centre, a facility that houses a variety of
extension, remedial and individual learning programs designed specifically for
individual students. Provisions for gifted and talented students include
acceleration in individual subjects and by year. There are also mentor
programs, distinction courses and an Opportunity Class for Year 5 entry.
