Our Crest represents the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The shape of St Clare’s crest is derived from the flames of the Holy Spirit and the Fruit of the Spirit described by St Paul.

The patron of our college is the Holy Spirit on whose guidance we depend. Tom Bass, a Canberra sculptor and also a personal friend of Sister Clare, was commissioned to design the logo for Catholic Girls' High School, Griffith, as it was then known.

Tom Bass is well known for his statue of Ethos which stands in Civic Square. Ethos holds the sun aloft and this symbol is incorporated into the logo which represents the light and life of the Holy Spirit. The central part of the logo design represents the twelve fruits of the Holy Spirit. The colours chosen were aqua and gold on a maroon background with the motto "Seek Wisdom".

Our Motto "Seek Wisdom" is taken from the Book of Proverbs.

"For learning what wisdom and discipline are,
for understanding words of deep meaning,
for acquiring an enlightened attitude of mind
- virtue, justice and fair-dealing;
for teaching sound judgement to the ignorant,
and knowledge and sense to the young;
for perceiving the meaning of proverbs and obscure sayings,
the sayings of the sages and their riddles.
Let the wise listen and she will learn yet more,
and the person of discernment will acquire the art of guidance".
