Welcome to the High School
Marist Brothers Linmeyer believes in supporting students from the very first day they step into the High School. Each year, we welcome new students into Grade 8 with a Ringing-in Ceremony that marks their acceptance into the High School Marist Family. We foster student growth through the Marist Ethos, focusing on the five characteristics of Family Spirit, Love of Work, In the Way of Mary, Presence and Simplicity. Five years later, we proudly bid them farewell as they graduate. Their Valediction Mass and Academic Awards Ceremony culminate with a Ringing-out Ceremony.
We understand that each child has strengths and faces challenges. It is our goal to develop and nurture the strengths, while working to mitigate the challenges. We offer a wide range of subject and have adopted a flexible approach to timetabling. This allows all students the opportunity to study their first choice of subjects. An Academic Support and Enrichment programme caters for all students, whether they are struggling in a subject or aiming to achieve even better. A balanced curriculum with a strong focus on employability and leadership, alongside life balance, encourages the development of critical thinking skills, creativity and self-awareness.
Marist Brothers Linmeyer is committed to building a solid academic, social and emotional foundation with our students’ futures in mind. Our dedicated staff coordinates meaningful outreach programmes that allow our students to gain confidence and maturity through service. The competitive and enriching sporting and cultural extra-curricular offering provides our students with opportunities to experience the joy of team work, to build resilience through learning from failure, to celebrate success with humility and modesty and to understand the value of true friendship and sportsmanship.
