Marist Gems

The Marist Centre at Cardijn College is dedicated to fostering an inclusive educational environment for all students, including those on the autism spectrum, with intellectual disabilities, and with Down syndrome. Students engage in entrepreneurial business initiatives, gaining practical skills that enhance their communication, organisational abilities, and problem-solving.

Through collaborative efforts, they bring a variety of innovative products to life, promoting teamwork, creativity, and valuable life skills. Known as the Marist Gems, these young entrepreneurs exemplify the spirit of inclusion and Marist values through their dedication and collaboration.

Proceeds from their initiatives are donated to a charity of the students' choosing at the end of each year. Thank you for your support.
