COLLEGE MAP

Sacred Heart

The symbolism of a hand was featured in the former school logo, and has been retained and built upon. The vibrant maroon shape resembles a hand pointing dynamically up, recalling also the distinctive silhouette of a flame, henceforth symbolising the sacred heart of God, as well as the light of knowledge and empowerment. This is particularly representative of the College’s mission of Igniting Hearts, and is a credit to the history of St Mary MacKillop who co-founded the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart.

Innovative and Welcoming

The round sans serif typeface works to convey the school’s qualities of Nurturing and Supportive, Innovation in Learning and Inclusive and Welcoming.

The combination of these three graphic elements, while being a credit to the Blessed Trinity from the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart emblem, also embody the values by which the College abides, providing a framework where students are invigorated in their learning, and placed in good stead for their future journeys.

LOGO

The deep blue hand is cupped and angled in a soft, supportive way that represents the collaborative and encouraging environment in which students are invited to learn and grow. The various shades of blue are an illustration of the spiritual world, and a nod to the monogram of the Blessed Virgin worn as blue woolen braid by Mary MacKillop.

Catholicism

Two white strips in the shape of gum leaves overlap to form a cross symbolising the Crucifixion of Jesus. Both elements were present in the former school logo, and they are now combined to reflect the school motto Celebrate God in all things., as well as to illustrate the Christcentred educational community. The two gum leaves are significant as they are representative of the two Australians who founded the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart: St Mary MacKillop and Rev. Julian Edmund Tenison Woods.
