Learning at Parramatta Marist
Parramatta Marist is a place where curiosity, imagination and love of learning thrive through working together to provide the most effective, engaging and challenging learning experiences for students.
As one of the 80 Catholic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta, we’re working together to transform learning for students in Greater Western Sydney. This means reimagining and refreshing learning and teaching for today’s world and today’s learners.
At Parramatta Marist, Project Based Learning is one of the innovative teaching practices we employ to engage students in their learning. It exercises and develops important '21st century skills', such as communication, collaboration and creative thinking.
Our faith journey
Parramatta Marist is a great place for students to grow in faith and learning. We value each student as an individual and share the values of the Gospel to help them discover the hope that is within and to experience a meaningful and flourishing life.
The spirituality at Parramatta Marist is based on the life, history and teachings of St Marcellin Champagnat, founder of the Marist Brothers. As a Marist School, we embrace an educational environment centred on our five foundational pillars: Family Spirit, Simplicity, Presence, Love of Work, and In the Way of MaryOur faith journey
