The shield which is central to our Coat of Arms is divided into sections which depict the 5 integral precepts which guide our mission and purpose here at Wesley. Growing out of that sheild is a vibrant tree; a symbol of life, growth and strength. We believe that our students, as their character grows and develops, will bear fruit in our community as they develop in these 5 areas.
Open Book -Academic Excellence
This is an international symbol for academics and intellectual development. The development of students who have a love for learning, set and acheive lofty academic goals, and become insightful members of their community is important to us.
Hand-in-hand - Social Connections
The primary symbolism is social and depicts a variety of relationships. The smaller hand within the larger hand indicates that social growth comes by learning through example and student interaction with each other, the teacher, parents and with God.
Moon - Emotional Strength
This is the literary and international symbol for emotion and emotive response. Our desire is that our students feel a sense of belonging and self-worth as they grow into people who can give back to the world around them.
Bread - Physical Development
The loaf of bread represents physical well-being and health.
Cross - Spiritual Development
This symbol is central to the image and divides the shield into the four areas of individual growth and developmentâintellectual, social, emotional and physical. The cross touches each area as a representation that a Christian worldview and spiritual life exert influence on all facets of human growth and development.
