Coming to Marsden was a big change for me, especially coming from a public school, but I have received an amazing education while also having amazing opportunities to further myself and have once in a lifetime experiences. I’ve been incredibly grateful for all the staff who have helped me on my Marsden journey because their encouragement helped me excel.
