Marcellin Technical College started it's life as the Australian Technical College – Adelaide South in 2006. We were originally funded by the Australian Federal Government and industry-led by a governing board representing industry groups and members of ATEC (Adelaide Training and Employment Centre – formerly PATDC).
We are now supported by Catholic Education South Australia – a great step in securing our future while still allowing us to continue providing a technical and trade-focused education.
This new support also allows us to develop and expand our course offerings even further over the next few years. We will continue to build closer links with our community and provide more education opportunities that fit well with their values and the community values of Catholic education.
We have been renamed after St Marcellin Champagnat, founder of the Marist Brothers community, according to the values his style of education represented: simplicity, deep concern, open-mindedness, trust, strength of character, family spirit and practical wisdom.
This gives students who graduate from our College the best of both worlds – with these values underpinning our expertise in providing practical work experience and trade-relevant training.
