Our School
Principal's
Welcome
On behalf of this wonderful and vibrant community, I am delighted to welcome you to Marian Catholic College. The College is a school of faith, excellence and access, founded on a strong Marian tradition supported by Mercy and Marist charisms and founders. It is a community of learning, belonging and inclusion, where all can flourish and grow.
At the heart of the College is its Catholic faith, which can be seen in the school motto, “The Way, the Truth, and the Life.” This spiritual life is actively explored and supported through prayer and reflection, liturgies, community service, social justice activities, and Religious Education curricula.
Marian Catholic College belongs to the system of 29 schools across the Riverina, overseen by Catholic Education-Diocese of Wagga Wagga. At Marian, we proudly acknowledge our school’s contribution to the broader diocesan vision where:
Inspired by the message and actions of Jesus Christ, we nurture excellence as a Community of Learners, so all may flourish in the fullness of their humanity.
Marian Catholic College offers an excellent education focusing on educating the whole student and on providing a safe, supportive and appropriately challenging learning environment for all. The College is co-educational, inclusive and respectful of the faith and life of other spiritual and cultural traditions and practices within the Griffith community. Marian offers all of its students who come from many and diverse cultural backgrounds the following:
• Excellent learning opportunities from Year 7 through to Year 12
• Comprehensive faith development and religious education
• Numerous co-curricular and sporting opportunities
• Caring, professional and supportive staff
• A strong focus on academic excellence
• Outstanding technology and vocational education learning facilities
• Pastoral and wellbeing programs and support
At Marian, our purpose is to nurture, challenge and grow our students into respectful, caring, informed, faith-filled and responsible young adults who will lead us in future years. Put simply, we provide an education in the Catholic tradition that allows our students to be the best that they can be. We do this in partnership with you – their parents, carers and first educators.
Welcome to Marian Catholic College.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Penny Ludicke
