Culture

“Here at Marrara we’re about crafted teaching. For us, all learning is formational. Formational learning is about helping students learn with their head, connect that knowledge to their heart, and see it outworked through their hands in their daily lives.  We have a fantastic and committed staff here who are driven to support our students and care for them along their learning journeys so that they can be who God has created them to.” – Joel van Bentum, Principal, Marrara Christian College
