History and Tradition
Established in 1929, Marist College Rosalie was the first Marist school in Queensland.
Our college crest incorporates the college colours of cerise and blue.
Our Latin motto, AGE QUOD AGIS, when translated reads: Whatever you do, do wholeheartedly and well·
The symbols featured on our crest include a stylised AM, standing for Ave Maria (Hail Mary), surmounted by twelve stars representing the Crown of Mary. This is a symbol of the Marist Brothers, a congregation dedicated to Mary by Marcellin Champagnat in 1817. The open book and the torch are both symbolic of learning.
In 1949 the main school building on Fernberg Road at Paddington was opened and blessed.
The expansive 'La Valla' playing fields in Fig Tree Pocket were first used in 1955.
Our swimming pool was built on campus at Paddington in 1965.
In 1986 Daniel Crowley became the first of Marist College Rosalie's Rhodes Scholars.
In 1997 the College Administration area was beautifully refurbished, followed in 2000 by a complete refurbishment of all college campus facilities.
Discipline and Respect - Our college believes that the ideal form of discipline is self-discipline. All college rules and requirements are based on the need for self-respect as well as respect for the rights and property of others. Therefore, we expect a high standard of courtesy and concern for fellow students, teachers and all other people, both at school and when travelling to and from school.
Marist education is based on relationships and our college is heavily involved with supporting community organisations that help people who are struggling. Our Senior students can choose to take part in structured weekly community service during school hours, working with organisations such as Meals on Wheels and the Society of St Vincent de Paul. All students are actively encouraged to take part in collecting and fundraising for various charitable organisations. Many charities are strongly supported by the college each year in this way including Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Queensland Cancer Fund.
