At Marist-Sion College, students experience an education where they are known and loved, grow as life-long learners and live as active citizens inspired by the principles of Catholic Social Teaching.
Inspired by the Gospel and the spiritualities of the Marist and Sion traditions, our College is unapologetically Catholic, yet open to dialogue and encounter. We believe in the transformative power of education rooted in faith and strive to create golden moments of revelation and connection through liturgy, prayer and service. Jesus remains at the centre of our spirituality, guiding our daily life and animating our commitment to justice, inclusion and compassion.
As Principal, I see leadership as a relational act of service. I am committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, visibility and shared purpose where every voice is valued and every learner is empowered. Our vision is aligned with the Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Limited (DOSCEL) priorities, and brought to life through high expectations, relational trust and a deep belief in the dignity and potential of each person.
We are a learning community that embraces curiosity, inquiry and continuous growth. Our staff are expert educators, committed to evidence-informed practice and professional collaboration. Through initiatives such as Teaching Sprints, Learning Walks, and Professional Learning Communities, we cultivate a culture of excellence and innovation. Our students are supported through personalised learning pathways and a holistic approach to wellbeing, ensuring that every learner is known, loved and challenged.
At Marist-Sion, we celebrate diversity and foster belonging. Our community is enriched by strong partnerships with families, parish and the wider community. We actively seek and elevate student and parent voice, recognising that the story of our school is co-authored by all who walk its halls.
Through programs such as retreats, immersions and student leadership, we invite young people to discover their faith, embrace their gifts, and become agents of change in the world.
Child safety and wellbeing are non-negotiables and central to our mission. We are committed to creating a culture where every student feels safe, respected and empowered. Our practices are grounded in Gospel values and informed by rigorous standards, reflective dialogue and student agency. Our moral purpose is driven by a commitment to ensuring every student can succeed – by raising expectations and closing achievement gaps, we create a learning environment where equity and excellence go hand in hand.
Marist-Sion College is a place of possibility – where learning is sacred, relationships matter and hope is alive. It’s a privilege to lead this learning community and to walk alongside our students, staff and families in partnership.
Welcome to Marist-Sion College – a welcoming community that integrates faith, learning and life.
