As Head of Sport at Marist Sisters’ College, I have had the privilege of witnessing our students flourish, honing their talents, embracing challenges and proudly representing MSCW with unwavering spirit and determination. Their dedication to sport and embodiment of the Marist values, both on and off the field, continues to inspire.

A heartfelt thank you to our Sports Captains, Angela Lakic, Isabel Chand, Evie Lange and Bridget Butler along with Mr Matthew Iskander, whose outstanding leadership and support have been instrumental in the success of this year’s Sports Program.
