Shared Mission
Catholic Education in the Diocese of Sale embraces the heart of the Church’s mission. Our schools partner closely with parishes to enrich the faith and spiritual lives of students, staff, and families.
Geographic Location
Spanning from Narre Warren and Cranbourne in the west, to Orbost in the east, and including beautiful Phillip Island, our schools reflect the diverse tapestry of our community.
DOSCEL proudly owns and operates all 39 primary schools and five of the seven secondary schools within the Diocese. The exceptions are Lavalla Catholic College, governed by Marist Schools Australia Limited, and Catholic College Sale, governed by Catholic College Sale Limited. Together, all Catholic schools in the diocese work collegially, fostering a spirit of collaboration and shared values.
