On 27 August 1888, three Marist brothers, Harvey, Vincent and Alphonsus, arrived in Suva to begin a school for the children of Catholic Europeans.

On 7 September 1888, they began their school in a house, just above the Lilac Theatre in Waimanu Road.

The High School was built at Bau Street during 1948, ready to begin the year there in 1949.
