Crest Meaning
The crest comprises of:
- Shell – representing the coastal communities of West Kimberley.

- Caring hands – symbolise the essence of our motto and the spirit of reconciliation

- Palm leaves – taken from the College crest to represent victory and to establish a common connection between the two
House Totems
Kimberley’s House Totems are the Kangaroo and Bloodroot, symbols of strength and healing. Kimberley can look after their totem by being resilient and supporting others.
