At Marian College we have always
talked about the importance of
faith and attitude to triumph over
adversity, the value of adaptability,
and the precious nature of our
intimate school family.
Marian College, and the girls and
families who make up our community,
are exemplary in these attributes, as
evidenced by our performance over the
past four years, in particular.
It is a delight and a privilege to lead such
a group.
Marian is a Catholic state-integrated
school for girls that combines high
academic standards and a progressive
approach to education with a genuine
commitment to the Gospel and to the
values inherent in the traditions of two
important religious orders, the Sisters of
Mercy and the Sisters of St Joseph of the
Sacred Heart.
Marian College is fortunate in being able
to remain small with the friendly and
warm atmosphere which comes from
teachers and students knowing each other
well. Every girl at Marian is nurtured
and her skills and talents developed.
She is helped to see that her growth
towards maturity, her independence and

interdependence includes rejoicing in
success, the satisfaction which comes from
trying, and knowing how to consider the
needs of others.
While our school culture is based on
traditional values and expectations,
there is a 21st Century approach to
teaching and learning. State-of-the-art
facilities enable e-learning opportunities
to be incorporated into the curriculum.
Contemporary teaching practice uses
the wider community as well as on-line
learning to make real world experiences
the focus.
