It was in August 2002 that Sunrise purchased the Marion Campus from the Maranatha Christian Assembly. The church had contacted Sunrise about taking over the school which it had lovingly grown over some 20 years. Since 2002 the numbers at the Campus have more than doubled. Not only did the purchase of the Campus swell the ranks of enrolments, administrative and teaching staff; it also introduced its own 8 – 12 programme replacing the existing ACE programme. The Marion Campus is the only Sunrise Campus to house a high school. It is a single stream high school modelled on the Sunrise credo of a family atmosphere that emphasises godly character and assists each student to reach their potential.
