===Proposed merger===

Emmaus College, St Timothy’s Primary School and Holy Saviour Parish Primary School, all in the suburb of [[Vermont South]], have been in talks to merge. Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools director of learning and regional services Dr Mary Oski said news of the merger has been “overwhelmingly positive”. “We are excited to share that we are actively exploring the potential for a K-12 Catholic Education Hub in Vermont and Vermont South. This innovative concept would offer a seamless K-12 Catholic education for children and families currently attending St Timothy’s Primary School, Holy Saviour Parish Primary School and Emmaus Secondary College.” Oski said. Emmaus College principal Karen Jebb said: “We are excited about the prospect of offering a seamless K-12 educational journey for local families.” There are currently 50 pupils enrolled at St Timothy’s Primary School, 1392 pupils at Emmaus College and 75 from Holy Saviour.<ref>{{cite web|title=Three Catholic schools in Vermont South set for merger to create K-12 learning hub|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/victoria-education/three-catholic-schools-in-vermont-south-set-for-merger-to-create-k12-learning-hub/news-story/9d2d9d4906839b45ae94bda7e582d9a7?amp&nk=65e808f800a4e420379ef58d139fd688-1701249376|website=www.heraldsun.com.au|archive-date=29 November 2023|archive-url=https://archive.md/qUD8M}}</ref> The school campuses are within a two-kilometre triangle.

History[edit]

Early history[edit]

Emmaus College[4] was established in February 1980 through the merger of St Thomas More's Boys College in Vermont South (1968–1979) and the all-girl Chavoin College in Burwood (1966–1979). From 1980 until 2011, Year 11–12 students were located at the Burwood Campus and Year 7–10 students at the Vermont South Campus. In 2012, Year 9 relocated to Burwood with a dedicated campus and Y9@E Program. All other year levels are now at Vermont South.[5] Since its beginnings Emmaus College has had students from Knox, Whitehorse, Yarra, Boroondara and Monash. Many students have also come from overseas as well as exchange students visiting from sister schools in Italy, Germany and Indonesia.[6]

Proposed merger[edit]

Emmaus College, St Timothy’s Primary School and Holy Saviour Parish Primary School, all in the suburb of Vermont South, have been in talks to merge. Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools director of learning and regional services Dr Mary Oski said news of the merger has been “overwhelmingly positive”. “We are excited to share that we are actively exploring the potential for a K-12 Catholic Education Hub in Vermont and Vermont South. This innovative concept would offer a seamless K-12 Catholic education for children and families currently attending St Timothy’s Primary School, Holy Saviour Parish Primary School and Emmaus Secondary College.” Oski said. Emmaus College principal Karen Jebb said: “We are excited about the prospect of offering a seamless K-12 educational journey for local families.” There are currently 50 pupils enrolled at St Timothy’s Primary School, 1392 pupils at Emmaus College and 75 from Holy Saviour.[7] The school campuses are within a two-kilometre triangle. It is not yet known how the campuses would be split, or whether all three would be retained. If approved, the plan would go ahead in 2025.[8]
