Mission

To run an exceptional Catholic school for boys, in the Marist tradition, where the Good News of Jesus Christ is
proclaimed and where faith, educational excellence and the call to justice are reconciled and lived.This College, in partnership with the families of its students, aims to build on the initial formative influence of the family, in the lifelong process of Christian education.

Vision

We want to create a school that nurtures and strengthens our students as they are transformed into better and more compassionate people.
We invite young people to engage in an education that sets high expectations and uncompromising standards. In the process, we give
them a chance to test themselves against the best they think they can be, to grow in the knowledge of the Catholic faith, to develop a loving
relationship with Jesus Christ and to build a Christian community.

Values

Marist College is first and foremost a Catholic school in the Marist tradition where education in the faith is given a privileged place. We live by a set of values that we think should influence every aspect of the life and work of the school.

• Every boy at the College is treated as an individual and given the opportunity to excel.
• We support and complement parents in their responsibilities as the principal and first educators of their children.
• We want the boys to be engaged with, and by, a spirit of learning that will last well beyond their time at the school.
• The school ought to be always open to change and open to the future. It is a place where people take risks and try new ideas and test their limits.
• We believe that teenagers have an enormous capacity to absorb new experiences and that as a staff we have a duty to harness this facility so that they can grow spiritually, intellectually, morally and socially.
• We treat the school as a community that allows a happy relationship between boys, teachers and staff and parents and a sense of real‘ presence’ to develop.
• We hold that certain standards of behaviour, attitude and presentation are essential if the College is to work and flourish. These gospel values are the foundation for respect, fairness and a sense of care and safety across the school community.
• We strive always to provide a caring presence for each other and for the students.
• We are committed to being open and transparent in all dimensions of the school’s life.
• Together with the staff, the students build up an ethos and a way of acting that is characterised by the family spirit given to us by our Founder, St Marcellin Champagnat.
