Learning and Teaching

At Marist Regional College, we provide quality learning and teaching programs that are rigorous and relevant. We aim to instill in each student a passion for life, a love of learning and the courage and confidence to serve others. The extensive and diverse curriculum and co-curricular offerings are designed to provide a holistic education for all students. 

Learning occurs in many locations through our structured curriculum, co-curricular activities and events, careers education, service learning and leadership opportunities. Students are encouraged to be self-directed, ethical, and responsible learners. 

Our outstanding facilities, contemporary technology, highly skilled staff, and their teaching practices based on the Science of Learning ensure that students have access to first-class learning opportunities. These opportunities place great value on the development of each individual and a commitment to excellence. 

The Resilience Project: Building Lifelong Wellbeing

At Marist Regional College, we are committed to nurturing not only academic success, but also the emotional and social resilience of every student. That’s why we have partnered with The Resilience Project — an evidence-based wellbeing program now embedded in our extended pastoral care lessons from Years 7 to 12. 

The Resilience Project focuses on practical, research-informed strategies that help young people thrive in a complex world. The program is built around four core pillars: 

Gratitude — noticing and appreciating the positives in life 
Empathy — understanding and connecting with others 
Mindfulness — being present, regulated and aware 
Emotional Literacy — understanding, naming and managing emotions 

Together, these form the GEM+EL framework, which supports students to build resilience, positive relationships and emotional wellbeing through weekly classroom lessons and ongoing practice.  

Technology and Devices

We encourage students to use a range of technological and non-technological tools to ensure they’re prepared for the modern world, while also developing critical thinking and learning skills.  Each student has a laptop to find information, interact with others, submit their work and pursue their own interests. 

All students receive a laptop as part of their enrolment.  Further information about the responsibilities of families and of the College toward the device can be found in our Policies area.

Marist e-Learning

Students, teachers and parents are linked through our Marist e-Learning Management System (MEL). This is where students can find their learning materials, teachers can record marks, results and suggestions for improvement, and parents and carers can see how their children are progressing throughout the year.

MEL is another way the Marist College community shares information and invites parents and carers to be part of their child’s learning.
