📣 SPONSORSHIP DRIVE

We are currently doing a sponsorship drive for our 2027 sporting teams here at Emerald SHS. With the assistance of sponsorship from local businesses, we are able to purchase new uniforms, as well as subsidise the cost of our excursions so that more students are able to engage with extra-curricular sport at our school.

If you would like to get involved, please contact the school on 4988 2222, or email the Health and Physical Education Head of Department, James Fitzpatrick, at [email protected]
