There are many ways to get involved in service at Marist!
There are regular groups, one-off events, sporting teams/clubs, and more. There are ways for all students to get involved in serving others, no matter what your interests are.
To find out more, speak to your House Service Captain, Mr Lansdown-Weir in the Mission Centre or your House Dean. Think about a need that you want to help with, whether here at Marist or beyond.
