PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Marcellin College has good bones
|
|
|
|
|
A warm welcome to 2026 and to the many opportunities available once again for our College community.
|
In 1958, the Marist Brothers established Marcellin College with small beginnings and high hopes for the future. The name "Marcellin" comes from their founder, St. Marcellin Champagnat.
|
68 years later, that founding spirit continues.
|
While times and our population have changed, the 2,000-year-old Christian-Judaic tradition and the 200-year-old Marist spirituality remain the bedrock of our school.
|
There are good quality "educational bones" at Marcellin College, and there always will be.
|
|
Welcome back to Marcellin College for 2026.
