What Marist Regional College does

Marist Regional College is a private Catholic co-educational college located in Burnie, North-West Tasmania, Australia. Founded in 1972 through the amalgamation of Stella Maris Regional Girls College (Sisters of Mercy) and Marist College (Marist Fathers), the college serves over 900 students across Years 7 through 12, structured into three phases: Middle School (Years 7-8), Senior School (Years 9-10), and Senior College (Years 11-12).

Reported academic outcomes include 44% of seniors achieving an 80+ ATAR score.

The college's core technology asset is the Marist e-Learning (MEL) platform — a Learning Management System and parent-portal connecting students, teachers, and families, with every enrolled student receiving a laptop. Supplementary programmatic offerings include The Resilience Project (an evidence-based wellbeing curriculum embedding Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness and Emotional Literacy across Years 7-12) and a Trade Readiness Program for Year 10 students targeting apprenticeships. Partnerships include University of Tasmania (tertiary pathway support), Institution Sainte-Marie in France (sister-school exchange), and bus operators (student transport).

Senior College scholarships of up to 50% discount are awarded, and family discounts of 10-30% apply for multiple children across Tasmanian Catholic schools.
