History edit

Marist College was established as small private girls' school in 1928.[6][7] It was founded by the Marist Sisters,[8] a congregation or order of Roman Catholic women started in France during the early 19th century by Jeanne-Marie Chavoin and Jean-Claude Colin.[9] The college was initially called Marist Convent High School, later becoming Marist Sisters' College and finally Marist College in 1996.[10]

Marist College began a year after a primary school was established in Mt. Albert Parish, and between 1928 and 1936 was a boarding school which initially included primary age students. [11] The two pioneers were Mother Bernard (Mary Gorman) Irish woman and Sister Austin, an Australian. Sr. Alexius arrived New Zealand in February 1928 to teach in the secondary school and official registration was obtained in 1947.[12]

In 1945, Colin House (named after Jean-Claude Colin) was constructed, allowing the school to greatly expand.[7] By 1955 there were 93 students at Marist College, then in 1981 after integration into the State system this had grown to a cap of 411, then by 2010 this cap had grown to 750. [13]

The boarding school closed in 1978 due to a lack of staff, and the College was gifted by the Marist Sisters of New Zealand to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland in 2001.[14]

In 1981, the school became an integrated school in New Zealand's schooling system.[7]

A large cluster of COVID-19 cases were associated with Marist College during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand in 2020.[15][16]

Black Lives Matter edit

In June 2020, teachers at Marist College took down some of the posters placed by students to promote the Black Lives Matter movement. The school's student cultural leader quit in protest, saying that the college had a systemic problem with racism.[17][18] Other students joined the protests against systemic racism.[19] In a statement, the school's principal, Raechelle Taulu, said that the school was aware of the students' concerns "about racism in our society and in the world" that the school rejects actions and attitudes that are racist and violent, and that it was "reviewing the issues raised".[19] In a school assembly recorded by a student without her consent, Taulu said that while the cause was "amazing", the actions of some students was "non-Catholic", and said that she felt the student had defamed her character.[20] The Catholic Diocese of Auckland, which owns Marist College, said it would mediate a meeting with students who have raised issues.[21]

On 16 June, 30 students staged a peaceful protest against alleged "systematic racism" at Marist College.[22]
