There were gates in situ when the school purchased the property from Marist College, Rosalie and it is interesting to ask, “What happened to those original gates?” They were the original gates to the Sacred Heart College, also known as Marist Brothers, Rosalie, playing fields and therefore, they held great significance to the Marist Old Boys Association. Subsequently, Brother Neville Solomon, past principal and Brother John Thompson were invited to attend the opening of the centre and were officially presented with the original gates. These gates, now beautifully restored, reside at Marist College, Ashgrove.
