Principal's Message

Maintaining high expectations for our learners and teacher practice and embedding our Marist values in all that we do are my key priorities. In this way we can continue to nurture and inspire our students to go out and make a difference in the world knowing they have the skills and dispositions to do so. We seek to unlock student potentials and inspire futures.

Our Parent Engagement Advisory Group is essential to successful student learning and wellbeing outcomes supported by open and respectful communication between teachers and parents.

Our Pathways Project continues into 2026 solidifying USC, TAFE and industry connections.
