Marist College North Shore (MCNS) (often shortened to Marist North Shore), is a Roman Catholic, secondary day school for boys, located in North Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, a suburb on Sydney's Lower North Shore.
Founded in 1888, Marist College North Shore is conducted by the Marist Brothers, based on the teachings of their founder St. Marcellin Champagnat. The school is non-selective, and currently caters for approximately 800 students from Years 7 to 12 (12 to 18 years old).
The college is administered by the Catholic Education Office for the Archdiocese of Sydney, and is affiliated with the Association of Marist Schools of Australia (AMSA), as well as the Metropolitan Catholic Colleges Sports Association (MCC).
Marist education began in North Sydney on 2 July 1888. Since then, the school now called Marist College North Shore has experienced significant changes and development. Initially, it was established as a small two-room school in Ridge Street; the current site of St. Mary’s Primary School. It opened with sixty-five students and a staff of three Marist Brothers. It was the fourth school opened by the Brothers in Australia – after those begun at Church Hill (1872), Parramatta (1875) and Hunters Hill (1881). The inaugural Headmaster was Br. Walter Moore who gave the school an excellent beginning and a firm foundation on which to build.
The school met a felt need in the area and its enrolments grew to the point where a larger site and more classrooms were needed. In 1916, with enrolments in excess of three hundred, the school was moved to a neighbouring site in Carlow Street. Here, the former Mark Foy’s Furniture Repository, which had been purchased by Parish Priest Fr. Cornish SJ, was converted into classrooms and a Hall known as Manresa Hall. Marist Brothers High School North Sydney continued to expand in numbers and obtained a name for academic, cultural and sporting excellence. During these years the school catered for the educational needs of boys from Primary through to Intermediate (Year 10) level. Its motto “Esse Non Videri”, translated as “To Be, Not To Seem”, captured the essence of the school as it sought to form boys into good Christians and responsible Citizens.
