Belonging.

We are passionate about your child feeling like they belong to the school. We have partnered with Uniform Group to produce a uniform that is designed to foster a sense of belonging and to demonstrate pride in who they are as members of our great community.

The shell on our logo will appear on the uniform once complete. 

 

The Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation lived in Clyde and hunted kangaroos, possums, wombats and caught eels in Tooradin. They were very fond of shellfish, including oysters. This was evident when oyster shells were found in Clyde from hundreds of years ago – significant artefacts from the indigenous people living in Clyde. 

 

At Birranga College the symbol of the oyster shell represents each student’s capacity to find the ‘pearl’ within themselves - to value the innate goodness and unique talents of each of us. We can only find and value that special talent within us by caring for those around us, learning about the world, and our place in it, and connecting positively with others.
