Marian College, Christchurch

Because of the effects of the 2010 Canterbury earthquake on 4 September 2010 and the 2011 Christchurch earthquake (the February earthquake) on 22 February 2011, the school was relocated for the 2011 school year to St Bede's College, Christchurch and there was also some cooperation with Shirley Boys' High School which is near the school.

Marian College, Christchurch was founded in 1982 with the merging of two Catholic secondary schools for girls, St Mary’s College (Sisters of Mercy, established in Colombo Street in 1893) and McKillop College (named for Mary MacKillop (St Mary of the Cross)) located in Shirley (founded in 1949 by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart).
