St Henrys Marist College Primary School is located in Berea. Founded in 1817, the Marist Brothers is an international community with the goal of educating young people, especially those most neglected. Most of the Brothers minister in schools, others work with young people in parishes and religious retreats, at-risk youth settings, young adult ministry and overseas missions.

Time and again St. Marcellin said he wanted “to make Jesus known and loved” throughout the world. He would run a needle through an apple (representing the earth) to demonstrate how he wanted the message of “Ad Jesum per Mariam” (“To Jesus through Mary”) to cross the globe.

The Marist Brothers are involved in educational work throughout the world and now conduct primary and secondary schools, academies, industrial schools, orphanages and retreat houses in 79 countries on five continents, reaching almost half a million young people.

St Henry’s is academic home to about 750 young men and women from Grade 000 through to Grade 12. Pupil-Teacher ratios are very favourable, classes averaging twenty-two to twenty-five students, ensuring that each student receives the best possible individual attention.
