[edit] School Crest

The school crest has many meanings. The Bishop Mitre placed at the top of the crest signifies the connection between the School and the Anglican Church.

The left panel of the shield depicts a picture of waves and represents the position of the school being near the waves. It also shows one of the many meanings of 'Mindarie' as 'place of green water'.

The right panel shows grasstree stems which again shows another meaning of 'Mindarie' as 'dry leaves from a grasstree'. This gives a linked connection the family name of Peter Moyes. Moyes is an old French name for Moses, who as a young boy hid from the Egyptian Pharoah's guards at the bullrushes in the Nile river.

The book represents learning and the Greek letters Alpha and Omega symbols form 'the beginning and the end,' meaning learning continues all through life.
