Our Brand
Our brand is forged upon the unique environment in which South Padbury Primary School is situated. The Kookaburra, which is the visual representation of our brand, reflects what we stand for and what we want to be.
In the Dreaming, the first Kookaburra would call out when the sun rose each morning to awaken the people and day creatures. He did this with a loud, ringing laugh so the people and creatures awoke with gladness in their hearts.
We want our students to wake each morning ready for the day ahead. To laugh, enjoy themselves, and the newness of each learning moment or experience! We want them to sing out and be committed to doing the best for themselves and each other, just as the Kookaburra is committed to the important job of awakening humanity each day.
