Marist College Pagewood is a Catholic secondary school for boys in grades 7 through 12, located in Maroubra, New South Wales in Australia. It was founded in 1961 by the Marist Brothers, a Catholic order of teaching brothers, as a primary school, and in 1969 became a high school.

History

The land on which the school is built was purchased during the time that Mgr. Denis Conaghan was parish priest of Maroubra, in the years 1939-1954. Father John Power was appointed parish priest of Pagewood and was instrumental in the development of the school over the next thirty years.

In 1960, building began on the John Power wing at the instigation of Mgr. Barney Hudson, the parish priest from 1954 to 1974. The architect for the project was Professor Neville Anderson of the University of New South Wales. The main two storey block contained eight classrooms, library, manual arts room and four cloak rooms. A single storeyed extension contained toilet facilities for the boys, accommodation for three brothers and the school canteen. This building was opened by Cardinal Norman Gilroy on Sunday 29 January 1961.

Three years later, construction of the Brother's Monastery began. The building was delayed due to a season of constant rain, but on the appointed day, 12 May, the building still in an uncompleted state was solemnly blessed and officially opened by Cardinal Gilroy. The monastery has accommodation for ten brothers and the building included a Study, Chapel and a small flat for the housekeeper.
