Our Special Religious Character
Mission Statement And Marist Charism
Our Mission
Walking in the footsteps of Jesus, with Mary and Champagnat as our models, Marist College Emerald is a faith community teaching Gospel values, which nurture the giftedness and dignity of each person.
Our Vision
Our College encourages practices that assist the students to think for themselves, to be confident and happy, and to cultivate a well-balanced attitude to life. Our College is open to family and community, welcoming all to participate in creating and maintaining a positive learning environment.
Our College Crest
The crest of Marist College Emerald was designed to incorporate symbols of the main influences on this Catholic College. The central motif represents the Trinity – the flames are symbolic of the Holy Spirit; the Chalice and Host represent the Son, Jesus, in the Eucharist; with the hands of the Father shown in a supporting gesture. Sunflowers represent the Shire of Emerald, and the stylized “A & M” is the international symbol of the Association of the Marist Brothers.
