The school encourages its students to strike a balance in both sports and academics, and athletics is where for the past four decades Marist Brothers High School has dominated in Fiji. Athletics is a unifying force for the Marist community who come together every year to assist athletes for the annual Coca Cola Games and later on in international meets. For the last eighteen Coca Cola Games since the medal system was introduced, Marist Brothers High School has won on 13 occasions.

The Marist 1st XV have won the Deans Trophy on four occasions and drawn twice. The school have over the years produced players who have gone on to represent Fiji in both 7s and 15s.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
