Why choose our college?

Marcellin College Randwick develops boys into young men that are global citizens. A Marcellin boy sees beyond into the broader world as he reaches out to others and lets go of any preoccupation with self.

An experienced teaching staff, strong curriculum and values based on the charism of Marcellin Champagnat have proven a successful combination for providing young men with wonderful opportunities to receive a high quality education whilst broadening their horizons.

Principal’s Message

Welcome to Marcellin College Randwick, a Catholic Secondary School for boys in the Marist tradition. Founded in 1923, Marcellin College seeks to develop the confidence, capacity and competency of students as they mature into young men. We offer a dynamic curriculum with a wide range of HSC subjects available, and students have achieved outstanding results in recent years in all external examinations.

Marcellin was the first school accredited to provide the Newman Selective Gifted Education Program, offering enrichment opportunities to gifted students and a diverse learning program providing support for students with specific learning needs.

Marcellin College Randwick HistoryHistory

‘Marist Brothers School and Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Randwick opened in 1923 with 159 students, growing to 350 in 1926. In 1932, despite the Depression, the college uniform was introduced. Between 1930 and 1935, thirty percent of the students received University Exhibitions exempting them from fees. In 1955, the school was renamed to Marcellin College. This name change also meant a new college crest.

Between 1957–1962, fathers were asked to volunteer their services for a number of building projects including re-modelling laboratories, Q Store, fourteen classrooms, extensions to the monastery, and a woodwork centre. Probably no school anywhere in Australia has raised up its own buildings through voluntary labour so successfully, so extensively and at such a minimum cost as the Men’s Auxiliary of Marcellin College.
