A huge thank you to all of the parent volunteers, senior students and staff who helped with the lunchtime BBQ for all Senior and Junior School students, braving the freezing cold conditions. #BeMarist #MaristCommunity #2022CollegeWalkathon

Unfortunately, due to the weather forecast, the sad decision has been made to postpone the College Walkathon for Tues 23 August. The BBQs will still operate at lunchtime for Senior & Junior students. Thanks to everyone has been seeking pledges for our important causes. #BeMarist

A decision regarding whether the College Walkathon will be going ahead will be made at 10am. The predicted forecast for the start at 11.30am will be reviewed, with the health & safety of students and staff the main consideration. #BeMarist

The College Walkathon is on Tuesday 23 August! Although the forecast is for rain, it looks to be light and sporadic. Students are encouraged to wear a raincoat, and can wear casual/sports clothes! There will be a sausage sizzle at lunchtime. #BeMarist
