History of Macquarie Fields High School

New school crest from January 2024

School crest from 1981 - 2023

The current school crest was debuted in 2024.

The stripes

These represent 'streams'. Our school is located close to the George's River and local site, Simmos Beach; there is a network of creeks in the area and in fact Macquarie Creek passes through our school site (in the form of flood water).

At Macquarie Fields High School we have three education streams:

• Special education stream
• Mainstream (community stream)
• Selective stream

In fact, students in each of these streams flow together in many ways:

• In the playground
• In the local area
• Special education students join mainstream classes.
• Mainstream and selective students join in elective classes.
• Mainstream and selective students are in all classes together once they get to Years 11-12.

The logo has five streams of the river flow into the star, so the other two  streams represent:

• a staff stream, and
• a community stream, representing parents, carers, local community members and ex-students.

These five streams then flow into the star which represents:

• moving forward
• aspirations to reach our goals
• educational excellence for all students

The star

All five streams of our school is represented in the 5-point star.

The Colour

We have retained maroon and the shield shape to acknowledge our school history and the old school crest.
