Marian College Ararat is a Kildare Ministries school in the Brigidine tradition, where Gospel values shape a welcoming, hope‑filled community. We are proud of our Brigidine identity, nurtured over generations and entrusted to Kildare Ministries in 2014.
Grounded in Gospel values, we foster the Kildare Ministries values of Hospitality, Compassion, Courage, Wonder, Justice and Hope. Guided by our motto Fortiter et Suaviter - strength and gentleness - we support students to grow in integrity, confidence and compassion. Central to this is our Teacher Advisor (TA) Program, where each student is accompanied by a TA Teacher who provides academic, social and emotional guidance throughout their secondary years, building strong partnerships with families. Through this holistic approach, we equip young people to strive for excellence, develop independence and contribute positively to their community. Marian College remains a place of deep hospitality, welcoming all, especially the vulnerable.
