About Us

Maristonians together in Aotearoa. MSC OBA New Zealand brings former students of Maris Stella College who live in New Zealand together. It is a place to reconnect with old friends, meet fellow past pupils and carry forward the bonds formed at school.

Our Beginning

MSC OBA New Zealand was established on 5 December 2025. The association’s first committee was appointed on the same day, giving this growing community a team to guide its activities and bring Maristonians across New Zealand together.

From the outset, the goal was simple: to gather past Maristonians living in New Zealand and create a lasting connection with one another and with our alma mater.

Our Purpose

We aim to build a welcoming community where past pupils can renew friendships, support one another and share in the Marist spirit. Through fellowship, social gatherings, sport and community activities, we hope to keep our school’s values and traditions alive for the next generation of Maristonians in New Zealand.

Our Founding Committee

Our first committee was appointed on 5 December 2025 to help shape the association and bring its members together.

Our Roots

Our shared story begins at Maris Stella College in Negombo, Sri Lanka. Founded by the Marist Brothers in 1922, the college is the common bond that connects our members wherever life has taken them. MSC OBA New Zealand carries that connection forward here in Aotearoa.
