The College Crest
The crest has four elements, each linked to an aspect of the college:
  • The Cross is the St Andrews Cross. Tradition has it that St Andrew, like all the apostles except St John, was crucified for his faith in Christ. However, his crucifixion was unusual because he was nailed to a diagonal cross.
  • The Book symbolises two elements at the heart of our College: the Bible and learning. As a symbol of the bible it reminds us that we exist as a Catholic School to proclaim faith in Christ. As a symbol of learning, it reminds us of the central task of ours and every good school.
  • The Star is the seven-pointed star from the Australian Flag. It reminds us of our nation, and of the many diverse people who make up our country. It is also a symbol of Mary, Star of the Sea, the mother of Jesus. Thirdly, the star is a reminder that we should each reach for the stars in aiming for our Personal Best.
  • The Motto - "Faith in Christ" expresses what the school is based in. It is our Faith in Christ that gives us our sense of meaning and purpose.
