This logo tells the story of Djambana – a Bunurong word meaning “Gathering” – with the school as the central meeting place where knowledge, culture, and connection come together.
At the heart of the design is the school itself, a place of learning, sharing, and growth. It is where people from many walks of life gather to learn not just from books, but from each other, from culture, and from Country.
Surrounding the centre are U-shapes - a traditional Bunurong symbol representing people. These particular U-shapes honour the five apical ancestors of the Bunurong people, who continue to guide and protect the community through their enduring legacy. Alongside them are Bunjil, the Great Creator Spirit, and Waah, the Keeper of the Waterways. Bunjil, often seen as the wedge-tailed eagle, represents creation, law, and guidance. Waah, often represented as the crow, reminds us of the importance of water, life, and balance. Together, they embody the spiritual foundation of Bunurong culture and Country.
The circular rings expanding outward from the centre symbolise the different groups who come together to form the school community: students, teachers, parents, Elders, families, and the broader community. These rings reflect unity, connection, and the strength that comes from diversity and collaboration.
Each layer of the logo represents not just people, but the values of respect, inclusion, cultural pride, and shared responsibility. It is a visual story of belonging, a reminder that the school is not just a building, but a living, breathing part of the community where all voices are heard, honoured, and nurtured.
We acknowledge and sincerely thank Kobi Sainty for their work in developing our school logo, capturing our mission, vision, and core values.
