Students at Marian are
encouraged to be involved in the
cultural life of the college.
There is a wide choice of cultural
activities and cultural groups including
kapa haka and Pasifika performance
groups as well as Filipina, Indian and
Korean dance groups.
Music groups embrace many different
areas of performance including big
sing choir, barbershop and fun choir,
chamber music, orchestra, rock quest
and jazz band groups. Performance
singers are a real strength within the
school. Under the itinerant music
teachers’ scheme there are lessons
available for the voice and a number
of instruments.
Drama performances include Sheilah
Winn Shakespeare competition,
Year 12 and 13 performances, stage
challenge and very active theatre
sports groups.
Marian girls perform in joint
productions with St Bede’s College,
including their fundraising Canteen
concert, which is student run.
Regular interschool debates and
speaking competitions give students
plenty of opportunities to develop
their talents. One of the highlights of
the cultural year is the Bishop Lyons
competition held with the other
Catholic schools in the diocese.
