Our school logo
In October 2023 we involved everyone in reviewing our values and establishing a logo that everyone in school could identify with.
We thought about our school vision and values and captured children's thoughts on colours, symbols and images that reflected these..
When we cooperatively and creatively looked at these together, we established a vision for our logo.
We saw nature, rainbows, bugs, hearts and sky. This inspired us to create final logo that reflects our school values:
Encourage & Persevere: The tree represents perseverance to grow. The sun represents encouragement as it helps the tree to grow.
Respect and care: On the tree we have heart shapes leaves. These represent understanding, friendship, love and joy.
Cooperation: On the branch there is a beehive and bees. These reminds us of working with together (with team spirit and in partnership) to create a safe, inclusive and productive community and world.
Creativity: We have a rainbow. This represents uniqueness and listening to our colourful and interesting ideas, Respecting these contribute to creating our better world.
