With a wealth of information technology resources, iPads and laptops for each child, the school continues to emphasise the importance of ICT as an important tool to assist teaching and learning.

As part of the Snowy River Education Community (SREC), Marlo PS students participate in combined camps and sports days, building strong connections with other local schools.
