A tradition of excellence

Our pipe band has been a celebrated part of the Emmanuel College community since 1998. The award-winning Emmanuel College Highlanders perform and compete at parades, festivals and events in south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales. The tartan worn is Stewart of Appin. The band receives support and sponsorship from Emmanuel College and St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital.

Scholarship
In partnership with the Society of St Andrew of Scotland (Queensland), we offer an annual piping scholarship to an Emmanuel College resident attending UQ, who shows superior talent as a piper.
