As part of the Marist and Josephite network, we combine timeless Marist and Josephite values with exciting innovations in learning for the 21st Century. Our dedicated teachers are committed to preparing this generation of ākona - learners for the future.

Many parents, visitors and past students comment on the welcoming, caring and inclusive nature of our St Marcellin community.

While students leave our School with a quality Catholic Education, we are just as proud that our students graduate with a broad range of life skills, strong friendships and positive values gained through the many experiences they encounter at our School.

We expect the best of and for our students and support them through the many challenges they may face in their early years.

Our intention is that our students learn, grow, laugh, persist, support each other and work hard to achieve their personal best – all within our safe St Marcellin family environment.

​

Faith formation and social justice programs are grounded in Marist Charism – our aim is to make Jesus known and loved to all our students and their families.

I invite you to visit the school to experience first-hand what’s on offer to your family and look forward to meeting you personally.
