Marcellin College Randwick is a systemic Roman Catholic, secondary, day school for boys, located in Randwick, a south-eastern suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Conducted by the Marist Brothers and founded in 1923, Marcellin is a school of the Archdiocese of Sydney, and currently caters for approximately 962 students from Years 7 to 12.〔 The college is affiliated with the Association of Marist Schools of Australia (AMSA), and Metropolitan Catholic Colleges (MCC). == History == Marist Brothers founded the college as part of the worldwide Congregation of Marist Colleges which began in 1816 under the guidance of the French priest, Marcellin Champagnat SM. Archbishop Kelly visited Randwick in 1921, and pressed for the establishment of a school for boys. Land became available in Alison Rd and on 4 November 1922 the Most Reverend Dr Sheehan laid the first stone which now forms part of the College Wall. Dr Cyril Fallon campaigned for funds, stating "A sum of 12,000 pounds was necessary to pay for the site and the school to be erected on it." Br Walstan Curtin was the first headmaster, and welcomed the first students on Monday, 29 January 1923. Originally the brothers traveled from Darlinghurst and Hunters Hill, until Br Aquinas managed to purchase the house adjoining the College, and then it became the living quarters for the Brothers. The Marist Brothers have managed the college ever since. The College celebrated its 90 Year Anniversary in 2013 with a range of special events, celebrations & functions. A new College Sculpture, named ''Eternity'' was erected in 2013 in honour of the College’s 90 Year landmark and as part of a major revamp of the College’s courtyard. It was commissioned and sculpted by sculptor Col Henry. It was blessed on 17 May 2013 at the College’s 90 Year Gala Dinner. In early 2014, major capital works commenced at Marcellin. Planning for these works had been underway since late 2011. The scope of the works includes: *a new library with additional learning spaces and major internal refurbishment *a multi-purpose space to replace the Year 7 rooftop playground *a new canteen *landscaping in the bottom yard *Food Technology and Hospitality facilities *a Drama performance space *alterations to the Marist Centre The works were completed for the beginning of the 2015 school year. These facilities will significantly broaden the curriculum on offer for the boys and improve the teaching and learning environment here at Marcellin. At the end of the 2014 academic year, Br David Hall concluded his term as Headmaster at Marcellin College. Mr John Hickey was later appointed as his successor, becoming the 24th and first lay Headmaster of the College. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcellin College Randwick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
