Marist Brothers International School Alumni

Welcome Back!

Once a Bulldog – Always a Bulldog!

Welcome to

The MBIS Alumni Association

Welcome to the MBIS Alumni Association page. My name is Mark Pilgrim and I have been a MBIS teacher since 2006. I have recently taken on the position of Development Officer and I am working with the Head of School Mr. Shawn Hutchinson and The Marist Alumni Association representatives to build upon the current membership base on the MAA Facebook and Instagram pages to create a vibrant unified MBIS Alumni Association. Our goal is to reconnect our past students from 1951 to present not only with each other, but with the current school community.

We realize that many Marist Alumni continue to connect with each other in smaller groups on a wide variety of digital platforms such as: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Line,Twitter and email providers.Our team aims to reach out to the MBIS Marist Alumni community and ask them to register on this website in the hopes of bringing over 1000 past Marist students back together under one association. By pooling our resources and combining social media connections we will be able to make reunions, gatherings and special school events even more successful.

The Marist Development Office is committed to reconnecting our past graduates,students and parents together under one association.
