History

Marian College was founded in 1888 by the Brigidine Sisters from Ireland. The foundress being Mother Gertrude Kelly. It follows the five Brigidine Core Values and is under the motto "Fortiter et Suaviter" - Strength and Gentleness. The first teachers of the school were five Brigidine nuns from Ireland sent by Bishop Daniel Delany to Australia. The sisters came on the boat "The Ormuz" and moved into the new brick convent. The original convent is still in use in the school today housing the chapel, parlour, hall, offices, library and staff area.

The parlour, the most beautiful room in the school, was painted by Sister Kate Griffin, for whom a wing in the school is named.

There are numerous wings in the school named after influential people: - Ursula Hayes Wing - Brendan Davey Wing - Dorothy Malloy Wing - Kate Griffin Wing

Sister schools
