Motto

The College motto 'Seek the Light' draws attention to the spirituality which forms the basis for the name Southern Cross Catholic College. It focuses clearly on Jesus as the 'Light of the World'; the guiding light and the inspiration for our lives. The motto then, is an imperative to seek the light of Christ and the light of learning.
