Celebrating 70 years since the opening of Marymount College

The Marymount Story – edited

This year we celebrate 70 years since the opening of Marymount College.

On February 7 1956, the Sisters of the Good Samaritan opened Marymount College in Seacombe Gardens, welcoming its first students and beginning a remarkable journey of female education, community, and faith.

Over the decades, Marymount evolved: moving to Hove in 2000, shaping young women through academic, sporting, and creative excellence, and leaving a legacy of service, courage, and compassion. In 2018, Marymount amalgamated with Sacred Heart College, and its story continues at the Champagnat Campus, where one of the buildings has been named the Marymount Building in memory of the College that shaped so many girls’ lives.

We give thanks for the Sisters’ vision, the staff, students, and families who shaped the College, and the generations of Marymount girls whose lives were enriched here.
