Our Marist Mission

Welcome to Marist Tertiary

Together we Learn and Grow.

Greetings from our Marist Centre, 1 Dawson St. Brunswick, Victoria. 3056. Here, at the moment, we are updating our Marist Tertiary Library.

On this website we are pleased to offer you information about our Marist Tertiary programs and resources in areas such as educational leadership and spirituality. Our programs are accredited with specific Universities and Catholic Education Offices across Australia.

These programs are academic, utilise principles of adult learning and are open to all. Experienced teachers lead our programs. Participants normally bring a rich knowledge and experience with them which they are encouraged to share.

You are welcome to contact us.

Marist Articles 2021

Sustainability of the Marist Mission

This article, published in Marist News on July 20, 2021, comes from the Marist International Commission. It states: ‘Cultural change means that the exercise of leadership [today] is more inclusive, less hierarchical and more communicative’ (p.5). The full article can be downloaded by clicking here.

Accreditation

A good range of accreditation possibilities exist through completing Marist Tertiary programs. They are listed at this link.

Academic Agreements

Marist Tertiary belongs to the Marist Brothers’ Province of Australia. As a Marist organisation we have formal academic agreements with Australian Catholic University, the University of South Australia and the Australian Institute of Theological Education. This means we can teach our own courses and gain academic credits for these courses from these Universities and Institutes. We also have informal academic agreements with the University of Divinity and the University of Notre Dame. We offer academic supervision of students undertaking a selection of these courses at the postgraduate level.

Mixed Mode Learning

Mixed Mode Learning, face to face and online, is available for our two leadership programs.  Locations are

1. Marist Centre Ashgrove in Brisbane,

2. Marist Centre Mascot in Sydney or

3. Marist Centre, Brunswick in Melbourne.

A presenter and/or tutor will be located at each Centre during the four days.

Message from Gail Coates and her team of library volunteers

THE MCM TERTIARY LIBRARY

As you would be aware the MCM TERTIARY LIBRARY officially opened last year. The library has an excellent range of resources, books, Marist history and memorabilia that are just waiting to be borrowed!

This year, thanks to the hard work behind the scenes of Brother John McMahon and Grace Johnstone in sorting and cataloguing the ever-growing piles of books, we have been able to make a start on setting up the library in readiness for all to use!

‘We’ - Marisa Bortolotto, Louise Cusack, Gail Coates and Br Bryan Leak (the ‘Br John McMahon Tertiary Library Volunteers’) - have been meeting twice a month, on a Wednesday morning, to continue the task of sorting, cataloguing and stacking the shelves in readiness for YOU to come in and borrow from the extensive collection available. Our progress, unfortunately, has been halted, by the isolation and social distancing imposed by Covid19 – but we’ll be back as soon as we can.

Please pay us a visit – this is a lovely space and we welcome all volunteers!

Think Tanks

The theme of our first Think Tank for the year, held on 22nd January, 2020 was ‘Leading in the way of Mary’. We reflected on three contemporary examples displaying elements of Marian Leadership.

Greta Thunberg Greta’s personal and passionate intervention and response to the world's lack of action on climate change and how her enthusiastic leadership has led to a worldwide youth movement on climate change.

The film: The Two Popes In a divided Church, the film’s portrayal of ‘the dance’ between Pope Benedict and Pope Francis as they grow to know each other, highlights both the need for human interaction and genuine relationships blended with enlightened authority.

Grace Jones: The fan who saved a Life Grace shows leadership by responding to the needs of another - by saving the Yellow Wiggle’s Life. Like Mary, Grace stands up and offers her professional training for the good of the community.

The dates of further Think Tanks will be announced here. We hope the next one will take place in July, 2020 depending on the state of COVID-19.

Our Marist Tertiary Library at 1 Dawson St, Brunswick is still expanding. Books can be borrowed by contacting Grace Johnstone at grace.johnstone@marists.org.au
