Marian is a Catholic secondary school that has been providing education for girls in Years 7 to 12 since 1957. The school is a congregational college under the stewardship of the Brigidine Sisters and a place where faith is proclaimed and celebrated. The school motto, 'Strength and Kindness', promotes a challenge for students to show qualities of perseverance and energy whilst, at the same time, act with gentleness. The learning and teaching program is designed to develop young women who are independent, open to challenges and have the ability to think critically. The educational program is always current and ensures that students will flourish and adapt to the changing nature of their world. Students enjoy modern facilities and the College is committed to be at the forefront of advances in technology. Programs that promote academic, cultural, sporting and spiritual growth are incorporated within a spirit of the Brigidine Core Values. All school programs ensure that young women who strive to be their best are challenged to achieve in their areas of interest and talent. At the senior years the College provides broad access to VCE, VET and VCAL programs so that students can personalise a learning program to suit their needs, interests and abilities. We are a welcoming community who accepts all faiths, cultures and abilities. We provide a safe and secure environment that operates under a philosophy of restorative justice.
