Our School Name and Logo

School Name

Edmondson Park the suburb is named after John Edmondson (1914-1941), a local Liverpool resident who was the first Australian to be awarded the Victoria Cross in the Second World War, after his death in the Battle of Tobruk.

School Logo

Our school logo is a waratah which symbolises beauty, service and diversity. 

The waratah's bloom is formed from numerous individual flowers and is surrounded by a ring of large leaf-like bracts that is symbolic of the diverse cultures that make up our school community. 

Inside the waratah is the Aboriginal Star. This star symbolises partnerships with our families, valuing the stories of our students whilst striving for continous excellence across Learning, Teaching and Leading.

The gum leaves symbolise the natives that line the Country our school is on and pays homage to the role of the mother tree in nurturing growth. This is also symbolic of everyone in our school community as a learner; each on a learning journey that can be collective or individual.

NGARADYINGUN- Our School motto translates to "Together we Learn" from Dharug Dhalang.

All aspects of our school logo and motto encompasses the fabric of our school narrative where together we learn from our stories past, present and emerging so that we can move forward. We acknowledge through our Elders the significance of the land our school is on as a transitional piece of country accessed by Dharawal, Gandangara and Dharug and we use language from all Aboriginal groups throughout our wayfinding. Our school wayfinding process has undertaken extensive consultation with Aboriginal groups.
