The Cross: [next]
Highlights the school badge. It is the traditional symbol of a Christian, a follower of Christ. It is a sign of both suffering and hope in the risen Lord, a symbol of faith.
"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." (Matthew 16: 24)
The Dove: [next] [back] [top]
Symbolises the Holy Spirit - God's gift to us to guide, direct and encourage us.
"But the manifestation of the Spirit (in the School community) is given to every man to profit withal." (I Corinthians 12: 7)
Our prayer is linked to Luke 1:35
"...The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee..."
The "M": [next] [back] [top]
Represents Mary, Mother of God, our Mother and patroness of the school. Mary taught and protected Jesus. May she continue to inspire all those associated with this "faith community" at Eagle Vale.
Our Motto: [next] [back] [top]
"CHRIST OUR WAY AND LIFE" is central to the badge. Christ is the foundation of the whole educational enterprise in a Catholic School. The challenge to us as a school is to make Christ a reality to ourselves, the children, parents and local community. We are a school of faith, a community of believers united in Christ.
To live our Motto is to follow Jesus who said,
"...I am the way, the truth, and the life..." (John 14:6)
School Colours: [back]
The colours of the school are GREEN which symbolises vigour, youth, life, freshness and full of vitality and GOLD which often symbolises something precious, of worth, goodness and value.
