The Most Reverend Anthony Randazzo, Bishop of Broken Bay has launched a much-anticipated new branding for Catholic Schools Broken Bay which introduces a new name and a dynamic new logo.
The changes are in line with the vision Bishop Randazzo has for the education mission of the Diocese.
At a lunch attended by staff this week, Bishop Randazzo expressed his delight in the look and feel and how it supported the new direction of the Towards 2025 initiative, a strategic vision for the next five years of Catholic education in the Diocese of Broken Bay.
“We are committed to an authentic Catholic education for the flourishing of human and faith development,” said Bishop Randazzo, “and the change of name to Catholic Schools Broken Bay, puts the emphasis on our identity as teachers of the faith with a commitment to excellence on all levels of education”.
Director of Schools, Danny Casey commented “the new logo and naming convention reflect the more agile way in which we will be supporting the schools within our Diocese.”
Bishop Randazzo reinforced the key role schools play in the mission of the Diocese. “Danny and the Workstream Leaders are amongst my closest collaborators” he commented.
Previously called The Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Broken Bay, they will now be known as Catholic Schools Broken Bay, a direct reflection of the support system for schools and their commitment to offering authentic, professional Catholic education delivered with care and compassion.
“The new logo features a cross shining its light out over the water with arrows pointing in a forward direction, highlighting faith as being central to everything we do,” said Mr Casey. “The five light beams represent the Catholic Schools Broken Bay values of Faith, Joy, Witness, Compassion and Courage. The water symbolises us coming together as one which is central to the direction of our Diocese.”
The previous logo had served the Catholic Schools system well, since 1986 when the Diocese was initially created, explained Mr Casey.
“This is an exciting time for our Diocese and our system of schools as we transition to align our look and feel with our new strategic direction,” he said. “The change highlights our deep commitment to our Towards 2025 vision of inspiring the hearts and minds of our students to know Christ and love learning.”
