The college consolidated its campuses in 1993 and the Junior School was closed.

History[]
Marcellin College is a Catholic secondary school which was founded by the Marist Brothers to meet the educational needs of boys.
Marcellin is owned and conducted by the Marist Brothers and it derives its inspiration from the traditions and spirit of the Brothers, the teachings of the Church and current educational theory and practice. The name Marcellin comes from the founder of the Marist Brothers, Saint Marcellin Champagnat.
Marcellin Champagnat had very simple and yet rich directions for his schools. His schools were asked to provide opportunities for the young entrusted to their care and to encourage the students to develop their individual talents to the fullest. This is the challenge that Marist schools have endeavoured to meet for the past 200 years.
The College motto is – Virtute Ad Altissima, meaning ‘Strive for the highest with Virtue and Courage’.[2]
Pastoral Care[]
Marcellin College uses a vertical system of Pastoral Care. Each student is welcomed and farewelled under the guidance of a single House and Pastoral leader for his six-year term at Marcellin. This system allows students to develop relationships with those in other year levels. Within the 10 houses there are 6 pastoral groups.[3]

In Year 9 there is a Junior School Captain, Two Junior School Vice Captains, Faith and Service Captain and Two Faith and Service Vice Captains.[4]
