All in Characteristics of Mar Ed

We recently continued our series of reflections on the characteristics of Marist Education, this time considering Marist Presence. The six of us who assembled at Marcellin College Bulleen saw presence as one of our very alive characteristics and central to the way Marists relate.

The five characteristics of Marist Education described in the 1998 text In the Footsteps are now well accepted and understood.  A recent call from some staff in Marist schools has sought the opportunity to reflect together on a subject being called 'Deepening the Characteristics'.  You might ask, what does such a 'deepening' process involve.
