Faith Formation

The challenge to develop spirituality has emerged as one of the key priorities of contemporary Australian Catholic schools.  At Marist College North Shore, it is also our mission to provide our boys with the most authentic and holistic understanding of what it is to be Catholic.  We value and draw on our rich Catholic tradition.  Through nurturing and encouraging the faith of our boys we strive to enliven their experience of God through witness and practice.  The school community is often the only environment where their faith and spirituality can be cared for, witnessed to, and nurtured.  This is a challenging and demanding endeavour for all those involved in fostering young boys and men in the educational process.

The foundational understanding that drives and guides all formational activity at Marist is that our primary role is as evangelisers, and that our concern is first and foremost the formation of our boys as Christian disciples.  Every initiative, program and educational endeavour offers to provide an atmosphere where our students have the opportunity to hear, see and come to know something of the ‘Good News’ offered through our Catholic tradition, living and ever present in our College community.  The ‘Faith Formation’ program attempts to provide students with opportunities to engage in a process that allows for them to discover, question and experience this Good News through programs attending specifically to their level of physical and emotional development.
