The school crest has many meanings. The Bishop Mitre placed at the top of the crest signifies the connection between the School and the Anglican Church. |

The left panel of the shield depicts a picture of waves and represents the position of the school being near the waves. It also shows one of the many meanings of 'Mindarie' as 'place of green water'. |

The right panel shows grasstree stems which again shows another meaning of 'Mindarie' as 'dry leaves from a grasstree'. This gives a linked connection the family name of Peter Moyes. Moyes is an old French name for Moses, who as a young boy hid from the Egyptian Pharoah's guards at the bullrushes in the Nile river. |

The book represents learning and the Greek letters Alpha and Omega symbols form 'the beginning and the end,' meaning learning continues all through life. |
