The determination to uphold and maintain the proud history of the struggle of three brothers to set up their former school has brought hundreds of ex-scholars from as far as Japan for this week's MOBilise conference.

President of the Marist Brother's Old Boys Association Ben Salacakau said ex-scholars are determined to make sure their former school has what it needs, which is the reason for the MOBilise conference.

Salacakau said Marist was one of the first multi-cultural schools.
