Participating Schools

Marist College Canberra

The origins of Marist College Canberra are found in the first school established by the Marist Brothers in Australia, St Patrick’s in Harrington Street, near The Rocks, Sydney. An increase in numbers necessitated a move to larger premises and in 1887 the High School was transferred to buildings in the grounds of St Mary’s Cathedral. In 1910 the school moved again to new and larger buildings in Liverpool Street, Darlinghurst. Despite the flourishing of “The High School” as it became known, demographic and educational changes forced the difficult decision to close in 1968 and to transfer its badge, colours and motto to Canberra. Since that time the College has grown rapidly and in its own relatively short history has distinguished itself through its high academic, sporting and cultural record. In the 2015 season the Marist Senior Basketball team won the ASC competition and the Basketball ACT U/19 Division 1 title. The most recognisable and successful basketball student to come out of the College is Patrick Mills who attended Marist from years 4-10 (2004). Since leaving the College Patrick has played College basketball for St Mary’s (USA), Australian Boomers and has won an NBA Championship with the San Antonio Spurs.

Situated 60kms north of Melbourne, Kilmore was one of the early staging posts for Cobb & Co Coaches and is one of the oldest townships in country Victoria.

Assumption was originally founded to educate local primary school age boys, but soon became a combined Primary & Secondary Boarding School to meet the needs of young boys from the more remote parts of Victoria and Southern New South Wales.

This is Assumption's 4th year in the Marist Basketball Carnival and the school is excited to be attending once again. The boys are hoping for another successful Carnival, while the girls are also looking to perform well. We wish all the competing schools the best of luck in this year’s Carnival.

The St Patrick's Campus, which caters for our Year 9 to Year 12 students, was the former St Patrick's Boarding College which was founded by Bishop Phelan in 1922 and entrusted to the care of the Marist Brothers.

Lavalla Catholic College has a proud sporting tradition in the field of basketball, Aust. football, soccer, touch football, netball and swimming.

Chelsea represented the College at the 2014 and 2015 Marist Carnivals. The college would like to continue to remember Daniel Lee (Shmee) who died on Sunday February 18th 2007 as a result of a car crash. He was our Marist Basketball captain in 2006 and a Marist player in 2005. He was a great friend and an excellent ambassador for the college. What he lacked in height he made up for in heart. Each year we have a Marist award named in his honour. This year we will again endeavour to play with this enthusiasm and heart - Go Shmee! SCHOOL COLOURS: Blue and Yellow

St Augustine's College Cairns

St Augustine's is the oldest continuing Marist school in Queensland. The Marist Brothers established the College in the growing town of Cairns in 1930 when the northern Queensland gold rushes were still a living memory. Its first members were three Brothers and ninety-six students.

The College grew quickly, doubling its staff and enrolment within a year. It soon established a reputation for academic achievement - presenting students for both Scholarship and Junior from its first year, and enrolling students for the Senior Certificate as one of only a handful of schools outside of Brisbane doing this at the time - as well as for its sports success, its cultural activities, and its strong spirit. By 1938 a new classroom wing building had been erected.

The shortages and the threats of World War 2 provided special challenges for the College and the boarders - then, most of the enrolment - temporarily moved to Lake Barrine on the Atherton Tableland in 1942. After the war, pressure for boarding and day places continued, particularly during two periods of Brother Gildas's principalship in the 1950s and 1960s.

By the 1960s, despite the gradual addition of further buildings it was clear that there needed to be a massive building programme. An ambitious master plan was implemented in the 1970s which saw new classrooms, dormitories, hall, swimming pool, administration wing, and Brothers' monastery. Further land was purchased and the Design and Technology Centre built.

The 1980s and 1990s saw considerable development of the College's curriculum, the expansion of staff, the further upgrade of facilities and development of the grounds, and the consolidation of tradition. During the last decade, St Augustine’s has enjoyed unparalleled academic success, and considerable expansion of both its cultural and sporting programmes.

St Augustine’s is excited to be participating in the 2018 Marist Basketball Carnival after a few years away from the competition. Saints has previously participated in the Marist Carnival in 2006, 2008 (host College), 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2016.

As an NBL city, Basketball in Cairns has a vibrant and large following with many of our St Augustine’s students representing our Junior Cairns Representative teams, and some students having made their way in to the Cairns Taipans Junior Academy team.

St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill

Since its foundation in 1881, St Joseph’s College in Hunters Hill has been renowned for providing boys of a wide range of abilities with a first-class education in the Marist tradition. From its early days as a boarding school with less than 100 students and staffed entirely by Marist Brothers, it has grown to become the largest boarding school in Australia. In 2017 it has a student population of 1,098 boys, made up of 560 day students, 283 weekly boarders and 255 full boarders. The College Headmaster is Mr Ross Tarlinton.

The College grounds were bought by the Marist Brothers in 1876 for the purpose of building a novitiate and a boarding school for boys. The novitiate was opened in 1878 - a two-storey stone building that still stands in the College grounds today. The work of the novitiate was essential to the yet-to-be-established College, as it prepared many of the Brothers who were to later become College staff.

The College began playing basketball officially in 1975 when the AAGPS competition began. Over the years, St Joseph’s College basketball teams have enjoyed a variety of successes. In 1981, the centenary year of the College, the First Basketball team won the AAGPS competition for the first time. This coincided with the opening of the new indoor basketball gym and both events contributed immensely to the Centenary celebrations.

In 1981 the College had three teams in each age group. The sport has experienced very positive growth over the years and in the 2016/17 season there are 40 SJC basketball teams. The College has competed in some of the 26 Marist Basketball Carnivals, winning its first carnival in 2014 in Sale, Victoria.
