“Behold Thy Mother,” a voice echoed from the past. Welcome to the Emmanuel College St Paul’s Campus. You might be surprised to hear that this institution once went by a different name: St. Paul’s College. Founded in 1965 by the Marianists, a Roman Catholic religious order, this all-boys school sought to provide a quality education steeped in faith. The school’s colors, red, white, and blue, were a proud emblem of its early identity.
In those early years, the Emmanuel College St Paul’s Campus looked quite different. The parents of the first students rolled up their sleeves and helped to build and landscape the grounds. Imagine, a community coming together, brick by brick, to create a place of learning! The heart of the campus, the Jubilee Building, was completed in 1969, followed by the Chaminade Library in 1971. Over the years, more buildings rose, each one a testament to the school’s growth and commitment to its students.
The year 2008 marked a turning point. Emmanuel College expanded, adding a second campus and adopting its current name, motto, and a fresh new emblem. But the St. Paul’s Campus remains a vital part of the Emmanuel College legacy, echoing with the dreams and aspirations of generations past. The spirit of “Life to the Full” continues to inspire students within these hallowed halls.
