Marsden Sports Education Centre
Stage one of Marsden's Sports Education Centre has become a reality and was opened on 27 May 2008. 
We are now planning Stage Two which will include amenities, seating and plans for the viewing gallery. This is one of the biggest fundraising efforts that Marsden has ever undertaken and once completed will provide 'state of the art' 21st Century sporting facilities.

Buy an Auditorium Seat
The Marsden School auditorium was upgraded and refurbished in 2002. It was opened by the Governor general, Dame Sylvia Cartwright at the beginning of our 125th celebrations.
A key feature of the upgrade is new seating. There is one block of individual seats and two blocks of padded bench seating.
You can contribute towards the Marsden School Development Programme by "buying" either individual or bench seats.Your contribution will be recognised by a plaque attached either to the back of the each individual Centre block seat, or to the seating at the beginning of each bench row.
Please contact Mrs Martine Foster our Development Director for details or to request a seating brochure.
Master Teacher Programme
Marsden casts its net worldwide to attract eminent thinkers to this exciting programme. We target specialists who are considered forefront in their particular discipline and invite them to spend time "in residence" at Marsden with our own teachers. By adding another enriching dimension to our teaching programme we extend the range of exciting and innovative learning experiences available to our students at all levels.
Scholarships
Similarly, as part of our future, we see top students in all disciplines, sports and cultural areas being offered scholarships to attend Marsden. Both initiatives will ensure that our students continue to have contact with the best experiences possible in education and there will be role models among the student body, in all areas of the School, providing inspiration and motivation for all
We currently have a number of initiatives in place supporting the Master Teacher Programme:
