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).

Emmaus College, SAINT 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.
