Our Lady of Sion College imbues in our young women:
The motto of Our Lady of Sion College is Veritas in Caritate. These words, ‘Truth in Love’, capture the essence of the passage in Ephesians 4:11–16 from which they were taken. The passage issues a call to all God’s people to grow into unity with one another and to full maturity centred in Christ. By respecting and encouraging the diversity of gifts possessed by individuals, the community will guide itself to greater strength through love. ‘Speaking the truth in love’ is the way to draw people towards maturity.
The College supports the principles of the Australian Democracy and is committed to supporting the elected Government, the rule of the law, equal rights for all before the law, freedom of speech and association, freedom of religion, and the values of openness and tolerance.
