The sun greatly affects our whole climate. It is a symbol of God’s glory,
a symbol of the Risen Christ whose face shone as the sun at His Transfiguration.
As the sun is physical centre of our earthly existence,
so Christ is the centre of our whole existence.

The Cross reminds us of Jesus’ death for our salvation.

Mary our Patron.

We see the book of knowledge at the base of the cross
- the book also takes on the shape of a bird (symbolising the Holy Spirit).

The life of the ocean and the land as part of God’s creation are symbolised by
the Goanna and Fish.

Pindan the colour and name of the soil on which Broome rests.

St Mary's College, Broome

St Mary's College is a K–12 Catholic school situated in


The college caters for the diverse educational, spiritual and cultural needs of its students and provides
both vocational and tertiary entrance courses. The college has a strong Christian emphasis,
which is reflected in the Religious Education and Pastoral Care programs.

Broome is situated in the Kimberley, in far-northern Western Australia.
It is one of the fastest growing regions of Western Australia
and this growth may be attributed to economic development in agriculture, fishing, mining and tourism.
Over the past century the pearling industry, with its need for divers and service workers,
produced the multicultural blend for which Broome is now known.
Though not always peaceful, and certainly not without periods of deep racism,
European, Aboriginal, Chinese, Japanese, Malay, Indian, Arabian and Filipino divers,
lugger crews and industry workers all established themselves in Broome
and built a cosmopolitan community out of the mangrove and red sand.

The St Mary’s College Logo symbolises the land on which Broome is located
as well as the ocean that surrounds us.

The origins of the logo are the Christian representations encompassed in the local environment
The community came up with it over a number of months of consultation with students,
staff, parents, community members and the
Bishop of the Kimberley during questionnaires and meetings.
