Marian College is a Catholic secondary school, serving the Myrtleford and Alpine Valley regions of Victoria’s North East. The College enjoys close partnerships with St Mary’s Primary School and St Mary’s Parish. Increasingly, families from outside the Myrtleford area are choosing Marian College for their child’s secondary education, taking advantage of the College’s free bus services to Beechworth and Yackandandah. Marian College provides excellent learning opportunities for students in years 7 to 12 with a focus on contemporary teaching practice and student engagement. Marian College provides inclusive and varied learning opportunities, meeting the needs of a range of learners with diverse educational pathways.

Marian College enjoys strong partnerships with parents and families and we continue to build on this strength. Marian values the engagement of parents in the education of their children. We are committed to and encourage close relationships between Learning Mentors, students and their families, creating a firm foundation for the best educational outcomes. Our provision of online curriculum, real-time online assessment, feedback and reporting and commitment to close communication with parents ensures that all students are provided with continuous and timely support for their learning.

Marian College is proud of the connections and mutual support that it has established within the local community. These relationships enable the College to provide both depth and breadth of opportunities for students in all areas of academic, personal, physical and spiritual development. Local organisations and businesses provide extensive support for the College through work placements, work experience, sponsorship and service provision. Marian’s partnerships in the North East facilitate a wide variety of educational and training pathways including VET, School Based Apprenticeships and work experience. Our partnership with MP-12 allows us to offer a broad range of VCE offerings. The College acknowledges the generous support that our community provides and the richness that this brings to College life.

While Marian College is a relatively small school, it provides extensive opportunities. The College focuses on personalised learning in an environment where all students are known and their individual learning needs are understood. Together with a diverse co-curricular programme, students have access to individual and team sports, cultural pursuits, the performing and creative arts, and extensive camps and excursions programme. The College also encourages student participation in leadership and social justice initiatives, firmly connected to the Marian faith tradition and charism of our founding Presentation Sisters.

We are proud to be continuing a vibrant and living history and tradition that will provide a firm foundation for a strong future.
