Every year, we are named as one of the best performing boys schools in the state. Our students consistently achieve outstanding results in the Higher School Certificate and NAPLAN examinations. These achievements testify to the rigorous academic preparation that Parramatta Marist provides - setting students up for success in academic and vocational arenas.

Project based learning, combined with a broad-based curriculum, develops important '21st century skills.' Our technology rich school provides contemporary facilities that equip students for the digital world.

Every student is valued and fully participates in a quality educational program as an equal member of our Catholic learning community. We have extensive pastoral care and peer support programs that foster a safe and optimistic environment for students.

In living out the values of Christ, our school celebrates the uniqueness of each person within a diverse and inclusive community.

Empowered with a Catholic world view, our students truly live our motto: 'Fortior Ito', going forth with strength to live out our values of compassion, courage and commitment.

Important Update // New Drop Off & Pick Up Zone From tomorrow (Thursday 23 July), all Parramatta Marist High School Kiss and Drop operations will move to the new secondary Kiss and Drop facility, with entry via Gate 1 on Darcy Road and exit via Gate 2. The new facility has been designed to improve traffic flow, enhance safety and provide dedicated access for secondary students. The Kiss and Drop is for high school students only, operates as a one-way system, and is open 6:30am–9:00am each morning and 2:30pm–6:00pm on Thursdays (2:50pm–6:00pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday). Families with students at both Parramatta Marist High School and Sacred Heart Primary may continue using the Gate 3 drop off / pick up zone. Traffic controllers will be on site during the initial implementation period to assist families. Please follow all signage and traffic controller directions, observe the 10km/h speed limit, remain in (or within 3 metres of) your vehicle, avoid queuing on Darcy Road, and ensure students enter and exit independently via the kerbside door only. Pedestrian access remains available via Gates 1, 2, 3 and 4. Students should use the designated footpaths and pedestrian crossings when entering and leaving the campus. A copy of the detailed information pack, including site maps, gate operating hours and frequently asked questions, has been sent via Compass.

Fiji Immersion // Building Bridges During the recent school holidays, a group of Year 10 and 11 students, accompanied by two staff members, travelled to Fiji for a Marist Immersion, experiencing the global Marist mission through faith, service and community. 🇫🇯 From learning alongside students at the Marist Champagnat Institute and St Marcellin Primary School to sharing meals with local families and the Marist Brothers, the immersion offered countless opportunities to build genuine connections, embrace a new culture and deepen their understanding of the Marist mission. An unforgettable experience that challenged perspectives, strengthened faith and reminded our students that the Marist family truly knows no borders.
