Share Your Memories: History of Maryvale 2021


The The Friends of Maryvale are excited to be supporting the update of the Maryvale History Booklet in 2021. The update will focus on the achievements of the Institute throughout its 40+ years as an institute of further and higher education, and adult formation at all levels. A history of Maryvale was first produced in the 1970’s and then updated during the 1990’s. Much has changed since then, and more details are also available about the time St John Henry Newman spent at Maryvale and his thoughts and ideas regarding adult catholic formation and education. It is hoped that his comments, together with input from current and previous students, staff and friends, will provide an engaging, interesting and enjoyable update to all those with an interest in Maryvale and all that it represents across the world.

If you'd like to take part in the project, have photos or memories to share, please complete the form below:
