Principal's Welcome

Image of John Christie Welcome to Marymount College, a vibrant Catholic community where every young person is known, supported and inspired to grow. Since opening in 1968 with just sixteen students and two staff, Marymount has been shaped by faith, courage and a deep commitment to community. From the vision of Fr Frank Shine and the founding leadership of the Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, our College has grown into a place of lifelong and life-giving learning. Our motto, Deus Meus et Omnia - My God and My All - expresses the heart of our Franciscan and Marian spiritualities, and calls us to place God at the centre of our lives, allowing faith, hope and love to shape all that we do.

At the heart of Marymount are the Gospel values of respect, care, inclusivity, forgiveness, faith, hope and love. These values are lived each day in classrooms, on sporting fields, on stage, in prayer and through service to others. We hold high expectations for learning and offer rich academic pathways that encourage every student to discover their strengths and pursue excellence. Our extensive sporting, cultural and co-curricular programs provide further opportunities for students to perform, compete, lead and belong, while our spiritual and formation programs nurture faith, compassion and a sense of purpose.

What makes Marymount truly special is the quality of its people. Our passionate and caring teachers bring expertise, warmth and a genuine belief in the potential of every learner. They walk alongside students, challenging them to achieve their best and supporting them through the opportunities and complexities of adolescence. Together with our families, parish, alumni and wider community, they create a welcoming environment in which young people can thrive, develop confidence and become thoughtful and capable contributors to the world.

I warmly invite you to experience Marymount College for yourself by joining one of our College tours or attending an Open Day. These occasions offer a wonderful opportunity to explore our campus, meet our staff and students, and see the energy and spirit alive in our community. If you would like to discuss enrolling your son or daughter at Marymount, please call the College to speak with one of our staff. We would be delighted to welcome your family to Marymount College. 

Mr John Christie
