The Marist
薪火相传
Flame
The Marist flame is a symbol.

It represents our burning desire to uphold the Marist Spirit and our cherished
Marist traditions.

Graduating students light the Marist flame in a solemn ceremony that epitomises
the best of their academic and non-academic achievements of their time in
Maris Stella.

As school leavers bid farewell to their Alma Mater, their achievements,

represented by the flame, serve as an inspiration that lights the way for their
juniors in their quest to reach their full potential.

The responsibility of keeping the flame burning passes to the next generation of
Marists during the Leavers Ceremony, but graduating students leave with the
unquenchable flame of the Marist spirit in their hearts forever.
