The Advantages of a DOSCEL School

St Ita's Catholic Primary School is proud to be part of the Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Limited (DOSCEL) network, which encompasses 44 Catholic primary and secondary schools across our Diocese.

Together, DOSCEL schools form a dynamic, connected learning community united by a shared purpose: to provide faith-inspired educational excellence that shapes the future for generations to come.

Offering pathways from Foundation (Prep) through to Year 12, DOSCEL provides a strong framework of governance, innovation, and community engagement, all dedicated to fostering excellence in teaching and learning.

Guided by our Catholic identity, DOSCEL schools emphasise holistic development – nurturing students spiritually, academically, physically, emotionally, and socially. 

Our students are encouraged to actively participate in civic and public life, engage in social justice initiatives, and contribute through community service – strengthened by partnerships with parishes, community organisations and not-for-profit agencies. 

Staff at St Ita's Catholic Primary School benefit from ongoing professional development, innovative

expert teacher practices, and strategic leadership programs, all within the supportive network of DOSCEL. This a critical component of ensuring that all students within our schools experience expert teachers and capable leaders year after year.
