In addition to after school programs and weekend activities ECHO run several in-school programs at the Emerald Secondary College...

'Student Focus' is a program run in conjunction with Youth Dimension. It is aimed at year 7 and year 8 students and features high energy games, at lunchtime, one day a week.

'Senior Lounge' is for VCE students and gives them an opportunity to 'chill' during the middle of their busy school day on one day a week.

'Breakfast Club' is also run one day per week and is a place for all years to to gather and have something to eat before the day starts.

ECHO also provide the College with a trained counsellor one day per week plus a school chaplain for 2 days, the latter role being part of the Federal Government's national program for school chaplaincy. Several primary schools in the area also have chaplains provided by us.
