Our traditional colours are blue, red and white.

  • The colour blue symbolises harmony between one another and the purity of holiness that we are called upon by Christ to put on.
  • The colour red symbolises the shed blood of Jesus Christ who offers us salvation and eternal life.
  • The colour white symbolises the Holy Spirit interwoven into our lives.

These colours together symbolise the love of God which flows throughout our school.
