Innovation is at the core of Immanuel’s teaching and learning journey; where programs blend classroom, mobile and online experiences seamlessly. Facilitating connections between students, staff and the wider community is an integral part of this approach and a key point of difference.
Pastoral care and wellbeing are essential ingredients to Immanuel’s success. Mindfulness is taught to students and staff to better equip them for the pressures of the modern age, and the College launched a Wellbeing@Immanuel framework which is based on the work of renowned psychologist Dr Martin Seligman. It concerns a model of wellbeing to create an environment where both students and staff may flourish.
