Emanuel School, Australia
Emanuel School, Australia

Emanuel School is an independent Jewish co-educational early learning, primary and secondary day school, located on a heritage-listed campus in the Sydney eastern suburb of Randwick, in New South Wales, Australia. The school was founded in 1983 in Woollahra. The current Randwick site was purchased in 1984 and was opened in 1985. In 1986, Prime Minister Bob Hawke officially opened the school. Emanuel School currently caters for approximately 800 students from Kindergarten to Year 12. The Principal has been Mr. Andrew Watt since 2018. The school is affiliated with the Jewish Communal Appeal, the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), and the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA).Many parts of the school's campus have been redeveloped since it first opened. A capital appeal held in 2005 led to improvements throughout the campus. In March 2011, a new science building was completed, featuring science labs and a primary school library. It was funded partially by a BER grant. In 2013, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the school, another capital appeal was held. This capital appeal helped fund a new building that was intended to replace two existing demountables. This building was opened in 2015, with new classrooms for Years 1–4, a theatre, a gym, purpose built Visual Arts classrooms and new playground areas. In 2016, the old high school art block was refurbished to create new kindergarten classrooms. In 2018, a new 'innovation' building was opened, replacing the old high school library. This building features new classrooms, a design lab and a kitchen for hospitality students.The heritage-listed school site has previously served as a monastery, seminary and gentleman's private residence. The site was designed by Edmund Blacket (Aston Lodge and now Saunders Administration Building) and built from 1864 to 1936. The school is located in the City of Randwick local government area. The site was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.Emanuel School is ranked the top Jewish school, and one of the best co-educational schools in Sydney.
