Emanuel School has laid the solid foundation for my future, which will enable me to pursue my aspirations.

Ollie has been at Emanuel School for 13 years and he is convinced there is no other school where teachers offer so much support and willingness to help. Emanuel School is his community and has helped shape his character..

Ollie used the leadership skills he learnt from his teachers and applied them to his role as Peer Support Leader in Year 11. He managed to study for Year 11 exams while supporting, leading and bonding with the Year 7 group on their ‘survival camp’.

Ollie has immersed himself in every aspect of school life, be it academic, sport or social. He plans to take a well-deserved gap year and then study Biomedical Engineering.

Ollie is seen as a loyal friend and approachable peer who makes every moment memorable due to his strong sense of humour.
