As a Catholic College for boys (Year 7 Year 12) in the Marist tradition the Gospel is at the heart of all we do. Everyday moments of prayer reflection and peacefulness in the light of the Gospel have a formative influence on the culture of our College. We consciously seek to adopt St Marcellin Champagnats vision that to educate young people you must love them and love them all equally.
