Marcellin College is a Catholic secondary school in Melbourne’s east which was founded by the Marist Brothers to meet the educational needs of boys.
The college was established on a site in Camberwell in 1950 with 170 students and in 1963 expanded to Bulleen.
Today, the college provides an envied education for more than 1400 students across 14 hectares.
As one of Melbourne’s leading schools for boys, Marcellin College continues to celebrate and honour its beginnings with an extensive network of graduates who have gone on to achieve outstanding careers in medicine, science, business, politics, engineering and much more.
New principal Marco Di Cesare says, “At Marcellin College, we aim to create spaces that awaken, challenge and motivate our students to aspire to simply do and become more.
“In 2022, the college will commence upgrades and deliver new buildings as part of its Master Plan and commitment to providing student facilities that support a rich curriculum from Years 7 to 12, including a new gifted and talented program in 2023.”
Marcellin’s facilities include dedicated learning spaces such as the Fourviere School of Visual Arts building, Le Rosey Technology Centre and the Br John McMahon Performing Arts and Music Centre.
Champagnat Chapel provides a space for students to explore their faith and Catholic identity and the Placidus Resource Centre includes a well-stocked library, lecture theatre and IT support.
A multi-purpose St Marcellin’s Hall features two full-sized basketball courts and, along with a gymnasium and six synthetic grass tennis courts support its celebrated sport program.
“The college motto Virtute ad Altissima, meaning ‘through virtue and courage to strive for the highest’, places before us the ideal to provide our students with opportunities to develop their fullest possible potential,” added Mr Di Cesare.
