Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. I hope you feel a sense of the rich, vibrant learning environment offered here at Marist College Canberra.
Two hundred years ago, the founder of the Marist Brothers, St Marcellin Champagnat, claimed his core work was ‘to produce good Christians and good citizens’.
This remains the goal for Marist College Canberra as there are few responsibilities as crucial to our society as the preparation of young people for life in today’s world.
A Marist education provides boys with a spiritual compass while teaching boys how to seek guidance from God. We aim to place a Marian stamp on the hearts of our boys, so they will know how to work in the service of others. Your son’s time here with us is a journey, based on Catholic values, in the tradition of St Marcellin Champagnat.
Take the time to learn more about the opportunities we can provide for your son. We are proud of our Marist tradition of hospitality, and I extend a warm invitation to you to come and visit us so we may show you our College and how proud we are to be part of its community.
