School Crest
School Crest
Cara is the Irish word for ‘Friend’. We hope that all pupils and students make great friends during their time with us in Cara Community Special School.
We expect that every pupil and student who attends Cara Community Special School will be provided with a range of opportunities to believe, achieve and succeed.
The Letter C for Cara is implied in the arc of the overall design. The figures placed at the centre are indicative of the student centred approach to teaching, learning and assessment. The reaching hand is a symbol of care
and inclusivity. The hand’s placement at the bottom of a tree is a nod to the roots set down
through learning, which feed into a tree and branches which represents skills and opportunities.
Each colour has its own symbolism – blue is representative of calm, stability, care and wisdom,
yellow/gold is representative of optimism, energy and enthusiasm, green is representative of growth, progress and new beginnings and red is representative of passion, courage and motivation.
