Performances will take place in the Veritas Theatre in Week 10 of this term on 8, 9, 10 and 11 April. The play is suitable for all ages.
Shakespeare in Love is a wildly playful, funny, and romantic work of historical fiction. It is a sophisticated look at the power of art in society and an exploration of timeless human emotion. We look forward to welcoming you to the Veritas Theatre soon!

Enrolments now open
Applications are now being accepted from current families who may be considering enrolling their son/s not already at the College into Years 4 – 12.
A reminder that applications for Years 4, 5, 6, and 7 need to be received no later than Friday 31 May 2025 to be considered for enrolment starting in 2026. We would also encourage current families to let any friends who may be interested in enrolment know that they can now apply online.
If you have any questions about enrolment, please read our FAQ's and timeline or email the College Registrar.
Important reminder for Year 6 and Year 10 families
A reminder that families with sons currently in Years 6 and 10 at the College do not need to re-enrol their son into Year 7 or Year 11.
Our expectation is that once a student is enrolled at the College, their enrolment will continue until the completion of their studies in Year 12.
The 2025 Australian MTB Interschools were recently held in Thredbo 4-7 March.
Marist had three competitors representing the College. Parker Knox (Year 12) and Darcy McAuliffe (Year 11) who both competed in Division 1 and William Crompton (Year 10) in Division 2.
The event caters for enduro specialist, pump track and downhill disciplines.
Congratulations to both Darcy and Parker who competed in all disciplines and finished 10th and 20th respectively in this quality field of national riders.

On Sunday 9 March a squad of 59 athletes from Marist College Canberra Rowing Club (MCCRC) participated in the NSW School Boys Head of the River (SBHOTR) at the Sydney International Regatta Centre (SIRC) in Penrith. The SBHOTR regatta is a culmination event of the Schoolboys rowing season, where our Marist rowers and coxswains compete against schoolboy competitors from across the state and interstate – racing in single sculls, double sculls and quad scull events.
Athletes are commended across the club as they competed strongly in elimination heats with many crews progressing to finals. Crews from Year 8, Year 9, Year 10 and Senior crews were rewarded for their training efforts across the season with athletes achieving personal performance goals in their final regatta of the season.
MCCRC medalled across three events:

As the MCCRC rowing season draws to a close for whole of club regatta events, I would like to thank the commitment of our amazing coaches, volunteers, rowers, coxswains, families and supporters. Their participation and contribution has been integral to the success of MCCRC’s rowing season.
Thank you to Colette Harkin for her generosity in the provision of photography across this 2024/25 rowing season.
