Being Marist Calendar
The goal of Marist College Canberra is to create a man with a strong mind and a gentle heart. This goal is not acted out alone, but lived through an authentic partnership with our wider community. The strength of the Marist characteristic of Family Spirit, is that through meaningful engagement with the families we can co-create the fine young man.
During 2024, we are hosting a range of opportunities for parents and the wider community to help grow and cultivate the fine young men of Marist College Canberra and help us live out our Vision and Mission Statement. Our “Being Marist” parent events are aimed at faith formation, education, academic support, and wellbeing information. Each night will have a specific focus and designed to form an understanding of Marist spirituality and education.
The themes this year are taken from our 2024 Strategic Goals, with a strong focus on Healthy Masculinity, our Marist theme of First Light, and our academic and pastoral initiatives. These events are optional and each one tailored for a different part of the community. Parents, carers and the wider community are encouraged to attend the events they believe suit their interests and needs.
The events are a wonderful opportunity to engage in the wider Marist community, build relationships with staff and other parents, and also crucially, to help shape the directions of Marist College with your involvement. For example, one of our key events, An Evening of Dialogue, is not only an opportunity to listen to a prominent speaker, but to learn from those within the Marist community. It is a crucial part of building the shared understanding of who we are and what we live for.
