A Catholic Boys School in the Marist Tradition

St Marcellin Chapagnat founded the Marist Brothers in 1817 with the ideal of making Jesus known and loved. It's a legacy that we all embrace at the College and is an excellent school because of the significant efforts and cooperation of so many since it began in 1940.

At Marist College Ashgrove we encourgage all boys to achieve their personal best in all areas of College Life: the classroom, the spiritual experiences offered, the performing arts, the sports program and the wide variety of co-curricular activities.

Creating a “home away from home” has been an important feature of Marist education since its inception by St Marcellin Champagnat in 1817. Marcellin’s charism continues to shine today in our modern and vibrant boarding community which is often described as the “heart and soul” of the College.

Boarders are an integral part of the College Community with often lifelong friendships formed. We take our commitment to ensure boarders' safety, health and personal development very seriously.

Our boarders are from whole range of diverse backgrounds and geographic locations, who learn to live, work and play together. These young men develop a sense of loyalty, trust and strength in adversity, are nourished in this environment, as well as a special bond with each other and our dedicated staff which include our Brothers, teachers and carers who ensure that those entrusted to us are all known and well cared for.
