"Marist women will graduate as faith-driven, well qualified, competitive, nurturing, community leaders who have a sense of purpose and a sense of belonging."
Marist College, founded in 1928 by the Marist Sisters, is a Catholic secondary school for girls situated in Mt Albert, Auckland. As a faith-based school, we deliver a curriculum that is built on core values that challenge our young women to live and act as Mary the Mother of Jesus would in today's world.
We currently have a roll of 750 students who strive for excellence in all aspects of their school life. Excellent teachers, staff, school community and learning facilities combined with strong academic success, pastoral care systems, and vast cultural and sporting opportunities ensures that our students gain a full and holistic education.
We have strong academic success, offering a curriculum that is recognised internationally. We offer a broad range of subject choice from Years 7 to 13, with a total of 32 subjects available. Acceleration, Scholarship programmes and Gateway opportunities are offered for enrichment and extension. Each year, more than 90% of our students graduate with a Level 3 Certificate and many enrol to study at tertiary level.
Our extra-curricular programmes are extensive. Music programmes include orchestra, band and choir, many of which compete in a variety of regional competitions throughout the year. Our Performing Arts, Drama and Dance programmes develop productions that are performed for audiences both large and small. We also offer over 20 sporting codes ranging from gymnastics through to football.

The constitution of the Board is determined by the Ministry of Education and is made up of the following:
The Parent, Teacher and Friends Association work with the College, staff and parents, not just in raising finances, but also on helping to build a sense of school community. This is a parent support group open to all families. It is a positive way of becoming involved with your daughter's education and finding out more about the school.
The Marist College PTFA is hugely appreciative of all the support we receive from all members of our community including teaching and support staff. We meet once a month and all are warmly welcome. There is lots of scope to get involved in any way you can.
