===Early history===
Emmaus College was established in February 1980 through the merger of St Thomas More's Boys College in Vermont South (1968–1979) and Chavoin's all Girls College in Burwood (1966–1979). Emmaus College was the first co-educational secondary college in the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne|Archdiocese of Melbourne]] to be formed from the union of an [[Single-sex education|all-boys school with an all-girls school]].<ref name="autogeneratedvic">{{cite web|url=http://www.emmaus.vic.edu.au/Our-School1/History/ |title=History - Emmaus College |publisher=Emmaus.vic.edu.au |date=2014-05-23 |access-date=2014-08-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141026084801/http://www.emmaus.vic.edu.au/Our-School1/History/ |archive-date=2014-10-26 }}</ref>

In 2012, Year 9 relocated to Burwood with a dedicated campus and Y9@E Program. All other year levels are now at Vermont South.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.emmaus.vic.edu.au/our-school/emmaus-college-history-and-school-crest/|title=Emmaus College History and School Crest|publisher=emmaus.vic.edu|access-date=2023-10-27}}</ref> Since its beginnings Emmaus College has had students from Knox, Whitehorse, Yarra, Boroondara and Monash.

===Merger===
Emmaus College, St Timothy’s Primary School and Holy Saviour Parish Primary School, all in the suburb of [[Vermont South]], have been in talks to merge. Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools director of learning and regional services Dr Mary Oski said news of the merger has been “overwhelmingly positive”. “We are excited to share that we are actively exploring the potential for a K-12 Catholic Education Hub in Vermont and Vermont South. This innovative concept would offer a seamless K-12 Catholic education for children and families currently attending St Timothy’s Primary School, Holy Saviour Parish Primary School and Emmaus Secondary College.” Oski said. Emmaus College principal Karen Jebb said: “We are excited about the prospect of offering a seamless K-12 educational journey for local families.” There are currently 50 pupils enrolled at St Timothy’s Primary School, 1392 pupils at Emmaus College and 75 from Holy Saviour.<ref>{{cite web|title=Three Catholic schools in Vermont South set for merger to create K-12 learning hub|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/victoria-education/three-catholic-schools-in-vermont-south-set-for-merger-to-create-k12-learning-hub/news-story/9d2d9d4906839b45ae94bda7e582d9a7?amp&nk=65e808f800a4e420379ef58d139fd688-1701249376|website=www.heraldsun.com.au|archive-date=29 November 2023|archive-url=https://archive.today/20231129091609/https://www.heraldsun.com.au/victoria-education/three-catholic-schools-in-vermont-south-set-for-merger-to-create-k12-learning-hub/news-story/9d2d9d4906839b45ae94bda7e582d9a7?amp&nk=65e808f800a4e420379ef58d139fd688-1701249376}}</ref> The school campuses are within a two-kilometre triangle. It was not known in 2023, how the campuses would be split, or whether all three would be retained, with the plan aiming to go ahead in 2025.<ref>{{cite web|title=Three Catholic schools to link up in mega-merger|url=https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/three-catholic-schools-to-link-up-in-mega-merger-20231129-p5enpo.html|website=www.theage.com.au|archive-date=29 November 2023|archive-url=https://archive.today/20231129041819/https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/three-catholic-schools-to-link-up-in-mega-merger-20231129-p5enpo.html}}</ref> In 2024 the plan for the future use of all campuses was unveiled. The previous Holy Saviour Parish Primary School will become the junior campus in 2025. In 2026, the year 9 campus will now reside at the previous St. Timothy's Primary School, moving away from the Burwood campus. In 2027, the Burwood campus will become a Trade and Training Program for senior students.<ref>{{cite web|title=Victorian principal Karen Jebb is overseeing creation of expanded Emmaus College|url=https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/victoria/inspirational-teacher-alice-hu-wants-all-girls-to-know-there-is-no-barrier-to-mastering-maths/news-story/657863520e19a760b9187b58b6ca4610?amp&nk=d01929900a1003be449f6a52e701c9e7-1716097064|website=www.dailytelegraph.com.au|archive-date=19 May 2024|archive-url=https://archive.today/20240519053736/https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/victoria/inspirational-teacher-alice-hu-wants-all-girls-to-know-there-is-no-barrier-to-mastering-maths/news-story/657863520e19a760b9187b58b6ca4610?amp&nk=d01929900a1003be449f6a52e701c9e7-1716097064}}</ref>

History

[edit]

Early history

[edit]

Emmaus College[4] was established in February 1980 through the merger of St Thomas More's Boys College in Vermont South (1968–1979) and the all-girl Chavoin College in Burwood (1966–1979). From 1980 until 2011, Year 11–12 students were located at the Burwood Campus and Year 7–10 students at the Vermont South Campus. In 2012, Year 9 relocated to Burwood with a dedicated campus and Y9@E Program. All other year levels are now at Vermont South.[5] Since its beginnings Emmaus College has had students from Knox, Whitehorse, Yarra, Boroondara and Monash. Many students have also come from overseas as well as exchange students visiting from sister schools in Italy, Germany and Indonesia.[6]

Merger

[edit]

Emmaus College, St Timothy’s Primary School and Holy Saviour Parish Primary School, all in the suburb of Vermont South, have been in talks to merge. Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools director of learning and regional services Dr Mary Oski said news of the merger has been “overwhelmingly positive”. “We are excited to share that we are actively exploring the potential for a K-12 Catholic Education Hub in Vermont and Vermont South. This innovative concept would offer a seamless K-12 Catholic education for children and families currently attending St Timothy’s Primary School, Holy Saviour Parish Primary School and Emmaus Secondary College.” Oski said. Emmaus College principal Karen Jebb said: “We are excited about the prospect of offering a seamless K-12 educational journey for local families.” There are currently 50 pupils enrolled at St Timothy’s Primary School, 1392 pupils at Emmaus College and 75 from Holy Saviour.[7] The school campuses are within a two-kilometre triangle. It was not known in 2023, how the campuses would be split, or whether all three would be retained, with the plan aiming to go ahead in 2025.[8] In 2024 the plan for the future use of all campuses was unveiled. The previous Holy Saviour Parish Primary School will become the junior campus in 2025. In 2026, the year 9 campus will now reside at the previous St. Timothy's Primary School, moving away from the Burwood campus. In 2027, the Burwood campus will become a Trade and Training Program for senior students.[9]
