The cornerstone on which Marist College Eastwood was founded was the Marist way of educating which is characterised by following Jesus in the way of Mary and evidenced in simplicity, presence, love of work and family spirit.

Today, these characteristics continue to underpin our approach to our learning community:

• Family Spirit: The caring body of students and staff at Marist Eastwood celebrates the individual talents that make the College community a successful and happy learning environment.
• Love of Work: Innovative and authentic learning practices give students the opportunity to be the best they can be and instil a lifelong love of learning.
• Simplicity: We strive every day to simply be people of integrity and humility.
• Presence: To be focused on what we do and to be a good example to others.
• In the Way of Mary: We see Mary as a woman of tenderness, strength and being open to God, and seek to follow her example in our own relationship with God.

Our approach of authentic learning, coupled with a specialised program for gifted students, those requiring support and an enrichment program, has resulted in Marist College Eastwood being renowned not only for academic excellence, but as a College where boys can achieve their full potential.
