Our Tree With Lots Of Hands

Our badge represents a tree with lots of hands, a tree of life for all the people in our community (adults and children)

A tree represents strength, it is rooted to the ground, and it is solid and built to last; many of the trees around the new school have been saved and protected, showing us that with new technology goes the respect for the past and the future.

The roots and branches represent that learning starts, as we are young and grows and blossoms out as we grow. With strong roots we build the blocks of learning and values for the future.


Lots of hands represent that there are lots of people in our community and we all need to work and cooperate together to make it a happy and respectful environment.


Palms of the open hands represent that all through our life we need to be open to learning and open to other people that we meet, through a strong sense of values, respect and tolerance.

Hands represent active learning, enquiry learning, healthy living and fun learning, an education that is built on high expectations and high standards.

Italic and gold reflect the Victorian theme of the school and the development growing around us in 2007.

The knowledge of learning and the ethos of values is one that lasts a lifetime, like the strength of the tree.
