Accompaniment Programme
Leading with purpose
The Marist Accompaniment programme is based on the values of Presence and In the Way of Mary. It has been running for three years and we are looking forward to our next group participating in the programme this Spring.
Based in Westerhelling, the Accompaniment program provides an opportunity for Marist Educators and laypeople to engage with the Values and gain new skills and friendships with other Marists.

One of our most established projects for our young people is the Marist Leadership programme. Each year, ten senior students participate in the programme where they are involved in Charity projects, Marist initiatives inspired by our values and learning about the Marist heritage.
