Welcome to Marist College Ashgrove
Marist College Ashgrove was founded by the Marist Brothers as a day and boarding College in 1940. The College comprises 1600 students from Years 5 to 12, 220 of whom are boarders. The College motto, "Viriliter Age – Act Courageously", challenges each person to envision a more just and compassionate world.
Headmaster's Welcome
Since 1940, dedicated Marist educators, brothers and lay people together, have worked at the College to fulfill the dreams of St. Marcellin Champagnat. St. Marcellin was a man with outstanding qualities of compassion towards young people. He has been characterised as one possessing a strong mind and a gentle heart.
Mission Statement
We are a faith community, based on the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church and the life of Jesus Christ. As was Champagnat’s, our vocation is to make Jesus known and loved, and we draw on the inspiration of St Marcellin and the Marist characteristics of family spirit, presence, simplicity, love of work and being in the way of Mary.
