Pastoral Care at Marist College is underpinned by our Catholic character and Marist charism. Students are at the centre of all that we do. We aim to know students personally in order that they fulfil their true potential in all areas: striving to become the people God wants them to be.

The Marist College staff believe that contact between home and school is of vital importance. We therefore, would welcome speaking to you when you have queries or wish to give us information, which may influence your daughter’s progress. The following is a guide to the most appropriate person you should contact in each situation.

The Principal, Mrs Raechelle Taulu and the Deputy Principals, Mrs Emma Coupar-Wanoa (Pastoral Care), Ms Lucy Hill (Administration) and Dr Bronwyn Houliston (Curriculum), are always happy to see parents and to willingly give whatever assistance they are able to. However, it is best to make an appointment so as to avoid unnecessary delays.

Deans play an important role in the pastoral care and administration of students in a Year Level assigned to their care. Deans are assisted by the whānau teachers, who have responsibility for a vertical whānau group, comprised of students from all year levels.
