History
The college was originally opened in 1965 as St Paul's College, a Catholic secondary school for boys. The college was founded by the Society of Mary (the Marianists), who withdrew from the administration of the college in the mid-1980s. In 2008 a new co-education campus of the college was opened in Point Cook, and the two campuses together became known as Emmanuel College. (See the website for further history of the college.)
