Tumuaki - Principal's Message
Welcome to Marian College,
We are a Year 9 -13 Catholic girls school, living out the Gospel values and following the example of Mary, Mother of God. Two remarkable women are also our role models, Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop and Venerable Catherine McAuley. The charisms of the Sisters of Saint Joseph and Sisters of Mercy are at our heart and guide us. Our aim is to empower our students to be confident, committed and faith filled learners, who will fulfil their potential and contribute to the common good of society.
Our school provides a quality holistic education, with a focus on social justice, sustainability and the value of service to others. As a smaller family based school, our students are known and supported in their education through a whānau based structure.
Marian College moved into its unique new home in Northcote at the end of 2023. The new school is an innovative example of sustainable practice, following Pope Francis’s leadership on the care of our common home. As you explore our website you will gain a sense of our positive and inclusive school culture; Please feel free to make contact if you have any further queries.
With Mary in Faith,
Mary-Lou Davidson
