Welcome from our principal
“ Welcome to Emmaville Central School.
Our school is a vital part of the Emmaville community. Our small class sizes enable teachers to cater for individual needs, ensuring that students can be supported in reaching their potential.
The school has a range of technology- computers, interactive whiteboards, and rapid internet access to improve student learning. Computers for students to use are located in the library and there are portable laptops and iPads available for classroom use. The school is also well provided with a wide range of teaching/learning resources catering for all ages and abilities.
Students and parents and carers are encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities offered by our dynamic little school.”
