My daughter attends The Marist Prep and you have so beautifully summed up what this school stands for. She has a physical disability (cerebral palsy) and two years ago she left her local state school with low confidence and self esteem. Within a week of attending The Marist her confidence rocketed, her self esteem returned and she was motivated and happy with life again and importantly keen to learn and try everything. Teachers, students and parents all support the ethos of nurturing and caring along with trying everything and giving it your best shot. I can not be happier with her progress socially, academically, musically and in sports. What more can a parent ask for for their child?

I boarded here from 1957 to 1962 and loved my time spent within the walls of the main house and the old building down on the original front drive opposite to the lake. Our teachers back then were mainly sisters of the order with just a few from the outside world. I have to say the facilities the girls have to hand in the new buildings are from a different world to what was available to us back in my day but on reading through this description here, I can feel the same &#8216;vibes&#8217; running through. I would not exchange my days at Marist but indeed would have loved to have been able to afford to send my daughter here as a day girl. The girls attending Marist today are very lucky girls indeed.

When I started at the Marist in 1952 there were only 90 students and a wonderful experience. I was a boarder for part of my 9 years and a day student for the rest. The peace and serenity of both the location and the love of the nuns for their profession and the children, made is a wonderful education. It fills my heart with joy to see how they have grown but still maintained the values that are the core content of the Marist.

I loved my time at the Marist through the 80’s and early 90’s. Back in my day it was also a boarding school although I was a day pupil. I’m left with some very happy memories that will remain with me.

Can only add its an amazing school. However went there over 30 years ago. Was a boarder as well, but went to various schools &#8211; none of which compared. The atmosphere and people were always special.
