Marist Catholic College North Shore

The Marist Catholic College North Shore (MCCNS) development was sponsored by the Executive Director (at the time) at Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) as it was the school he attended as a student. MCCNS is in North Sydney and within an area there are several high profile private schools (Shore, Wenona, Loreto Kiribilli, St Monte and more) and very few low cost offerings.

This school was to be the “Lighthouse” project for SCS. The project was to allow for increased student growth from approximately 1,200 students to over 2,000 students across Primary, secondary and Early Learning Centre. The internal stakeholders were significant for the project including the Parish, the School Principal, Catholic Arch Diocese and Sydney Catholic Schools. The external stakeholders were also significant, being North Sydney Council, Department of Planning, Infrastructure  and Environment, local residents and consultants and contractors.

The project involved 5 stages and a budget of over $100m. Brodie commenced on the project after stage 1 had been completed.
