Our Traditions
The schools which became Catholic College Sale were founded by two international Catholic Religious Congregations, each with a long and proud history of education.
The Sisters of Our Lady of Sion, arrived in Sale in 1890 and the Marist Brothers arrived in 1922, each congregation establishing day and boarding schools for girls and boys respectively.
The Marist Brothers are called to follow Jesus in a spirit of simplicity and brotherhood, working passionately for young people and bringing a sense of family to all those with whom they live and work, particularly those who are poor and at risk.
Marists have a passion for empowering young people in their search for a society of justice and compassion. It is focused through a family spirit… being brothers and sisters to each other.

The Sisters of Our Lady of Sion are called to witness by their lives to a three-fold commitment to the Church, to the Jewish people, and to a world of justice, peace and love.
The events of the world and of their lives urge Sion Sisters to hear the cry of the poor and to respond anew to the call of God to do justice. The Church calls them to take as their own the option for the poor, and they strive to look at the world from the point of view of the poor, of their needs and urgencies.
