When students graduate from Parramatta Marist, they become lifelong members of our alumni school community.
In addition to our active Old Boys Union, there are many opportunities for alumni to continue their relationship with Parramatta Marist.
Every year at our Commencement Mass, our former school captains return to school to install and bless the new student leaders for the school year. Former students also mentor students with their industry expertise.
The Parramatta Marist Old Boys Union
The Parramatta Marist Old Boys Union provides former students the opportunity to keep in touch and support the school community. It was founded in April 1926, after 325 old boys resolved to form a committee for social purposes and support the progress of the School.
The Union holds an Annual Reunion Dinner to raise funds towards preserving memorabilia and heritage, supporting students and educational initiatives of Parramatta Marist.
