The Parramatta Marist High School is an independent Roman Catholic single-sex secondary day school for boys, located in Westmead, a suburb of the western region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Founded in 1820 by John Therry, it was the first Catholic school in Australia, and is the oldest school in Australia. Parramatta Marist began under the direction of George Morley. The school was transferred to the site of the present St Patrick's Cathedral in 1837. The school entrusted its operations to the Marist Brothers in 1875, thus becoming Marist Brothers Parramatta (MBP); which changed to 'Parramatta Marist High' when the school moved to Westmead in 1966. Secondary classes were moved in that year to Westmead, leaving only primary classes at the Parramatta site. The Westmead campus was opened in 1966. In 2008, Parramatta Marist High introduced project-based learning into Year 9 which focused on group learning.
