Marist College North Shore is a medium-sized systemic Catholic high school for boys, enrolling approximately 720 students. The College provides a comprehensive high-quality education in a nurturing Marist community, founded on enduring Catholic values, which prepares boys for an adult life of responsibility and commitment.
Each boy is assigned to a House when they join. Boys remain in their House group for most of their academic classes in Years 7 and 8. Throughout their entire time at the College the boys continue in the one House with the same tutor groups and House Coordinator. The knowledge of the boys built up over time enhances the care of every student.
Marist is neither elitist nor selective and has built a reputation on providing challenges to the full range of abilities and interests and developing well-rounded, balanced students. |
