Our School Crest
The school crest consists of a white shield on which is depicted an M representing the place of Mary in our lives. It is through Mary that we come to know Christ. Passing through the M on our badge is a single stalk of wheat representing Christ, the bread of life. The ears of the wheat are red, symbolic of the blood Christ shed to redeem us.
