RAP Artwork- The Elements Explained

The Hill rises from the base of the artwork. The first circular motif represents the community connected to St Laurence’s College – families, friends, businesses, greater Catholic community, local, national and international communities. 

The next greater circular motif or Meeting Place that sits above this represents St Laurence’s College - the ‘Light on the Hill’. 

The ‘U’ shaped symbols represent people seated together learning, living, teaching and growing everyday. The different colour within the circle refer to the ten (10) Houses or Home Groups that make up the Lauries Community. 

The Tree of Knowledge grows tall and strong from the base of the College ‘Meeting Place’. 

The River flows on either side and represents knowledge that flows from both saltwater and freshwater countries. It also represents Maiwar (Brisbane River) that flows through Meeanjin (Brisbane City). The arch-like shapes along the river lines reflect the mountains and hills of the greater Brisbane landscape.
