}}Marist College Ashgrove (MCA) is a Roman Catholic day and boarding school for boys, located in Ashgrove, a northern suburb of Brisbane, Australia. The college has a primary school for students in grades 5 to 6, and a high school for students in grades 7 to 12.[1]

History

The "Tower Block" was the first and still remains the prominent building on the College campus:

A Castle in the Woods

Shortly afterwards another building dominated the district. It was St. Jude's Seminary, where the Mission of the Most Holy Eucharist was established in 1929-30. On the 40-acre estate of the late Dr. Taylor, next to Glenlyon, on the first slopes leading to the heavily timbered mountains that provide a scenic background for Ashgrove and Enoggera, a monastery that might have been built in the storied era of mediaeval times was set down in Australian bush surroundings. Such is the architect's art that St. Jude's, where missionaries are trained for the Philippines, toned into its surroundings, and provided a spiritual atmosphere for a modern suburb. This beautiful building, semi Gothic in inspiration, is approached by a bridge that might have spanned the moat of some warring baron's castle instead of the gentle meandering Enoggera Creek. The bridge alone cost more than £1000. St. Jude's, old in spirit but young in structure, communicates its dignity and modernity to the new suburb where hundreds of new houses have sprung up.

Crest & motto

The crest of the college was based on the design of the crest of St Joseph's College at Hunters Hill, Sydney. The four quadrants of the shield are filled with: the Marist Monogram, with its twelve stars, in the top left, the Southern Cross in the top right, the MCA logo in the bottom left and the lamp and book representing learning, in the bottom left.

The motto traditionally displayed above the crest, Viriliter Age (Act manfully), was adopted in 1957 and is translated from Latin.
