School Logo

The College is under the patronage of the apostle and missionary, St Paul.

The upward sword signifies readiness to “fight the good fight” (Ti 6:12) or “certa bonum certamen”.

The open book is the sign of Jesus Christ, the Alpha and the Omega.
The red crescents were taken from the crest of the late Archbishop Beovich, who was the College’s first patron.

The College colours symbolise the golden promise of fulfillment earned, with Christ’s help, through our hard work and diligence.
