Who We Are - About Us - St Marcellin Catholic College

Our Principal’s Welcome

Everything we do at St Marcellin Catholic College will be to ensure our students experience the richness of our faith and of College life.

It is truly a privilege for me to be a member of this Marist family and to help lead our budding community of students, educators, staff and parents. It is my hope and intention that you will feel a sense of welcome and hospitality when you step into our classrooms and walk around our grounds.

It is our dream to grow an extraordinary College and we are excited to work in partnership with our community in bringing this dream to life.

I hope our website paints a vibrant picture of life at St Marcellin Catholic College and all that lies ahead for us as a Foundation College. I look forward to welcoming you to St Marcellin. Come and join us on this exciting journey!

Our Values

Hope

God chose St Marcellin to bring hope to young lives in the France of his day. For us, hope is a human strength that enables us to hold great promise for our lives. It is how we feel peace and joy. Hope gives us a way forward and is seen as the foundation in helping us to achieve our dreams and ambitions.

Humility

As one of his three most special virtues, St Marcellin valued humility immensely. For us, it is the honest recognition of our own worth as God sees us. Humility doesn’t mean hiding our talents, it means accepting our own limitations and having the capacity to see the contributions of others.

Compassion

Compassion is the capacity to put love into action. It reflects God’s heart, and it is a tangible expression of love for those in need. Compassion gets involved! Our restorative practices at St Marcellin reflect our value on compassion. It underpins all interactions in our College community.

Our Vision and Values

Our Vision is to develop young people with Strong Minds and Gentle Hearts. This Vision stems from St Marcellin’s own perspective on his mission and ministry.
