The Uniform

A new sports uniform composing of teal green with the addition of vertical black, yellow and white lines replaced the original green and white previously used.

The Motto

"Many Kinds of Excellence" This motto is intended to reflect the many kinds of excellence this school encourages, through the school's program and teaching.

The school is located in a highly multicultural area, and its student population reflects this with a display of a wide range of nationalities from many different parts of the world. Many languages are spoken by the students of the school. "English as a Second Language" (ESL) students are encouraged to attend the school due to its high level of attention to this area. The school won a Premier's multicultural award in 2005 in recognition of the school's multiculturalist achievements.
