St Anne's Catholic School
WELCOME TO ST ANNE'S
Our school is well recognised for its Catholic Special Character, the high quality of the learning programmes, the high standard of children’s performance and the support received from the St Anne’s parent
and parish community.
St Anne's Catholic School Crest
Reflects our faith, heritage, and values:
-
The Shield: Represents protection, strength, and our commitment to upholding Christian principles and pastoral care across our community.
-
The Five Bars: Symbolise the pastoral care extended to those in need. They represent the vows taken by the Sisters of Mercy—poverty, chastity, and obedience—along with their dedicated mission of service and love.
-
The Mercy Cross: Anchored at the top, the "cross-within-a-cross" honors our Sisters of Mercy heritage and Catherine McAuley’s vision. Leaving the cross unfigured signifies that we place ourselves upon it to serve as the living hands and feet of Christ.
St Anne's Catholic School Logo
Designed in 2017, our unique branding symbol beautifully captures the heart, heritage, and rich diversity of St Anne’s Catholic School.
The Mercy Cross
Standing tall at the center, the Mercy Cross connects our school directly to our founding Mercy Order heritage. It serves as a visual reminder of our core Catholic values—compassion, hospitality, and service—guiding everything we do.
The Koru Framework
Encapsulating the design is the koru, representing new life, growth, and continuous learning. As the frond reaches upward, it symbolizes the nurturing environment we provide to help every child flourish spiritually and academically.
Cultural Patterns Growing Together as One
Nestled along the koru stem are distinct cultural patterns celebrating the rich diversity of our community. Each symbol represents a cultural thread woven into our school family. Together, these elements illustrate a vibrant story: a multicultural community anchored in faith, growing side-by-side as one united St Anne’s family.
