Visually Engaging School Identity: Bray Park's Houses and Values
MyDiary was delighted to collaborate with Bray Park State High School to create a visually striking and informative "School Houses" page, as showcased here. The clear and appealing design effectively presents the four school houses – Rain, Wind, Earth and Fire – each with its own distinct emblem. Furthermore, the accompanying infographic beautifully illustrates the school's core values: Trust, Respect, Integrity, Compassion and Commitment, providing concise descriptions for each. This thoughtful design ensures that these key elements of the school's identity are not only easily accessible but also presented in an engaging way for students.

Empowering Students: Bray Park's Clear Help Directory
MyDiary was pleased to support Bray Park State High School in developing this exceptionally clear and well-presented "Student Help Directory" matrix. This innovative design directly empowers students by providing a straightforward visual guide to identify the appropriate staff member or resource to approach when facing specific situations within the school. The matrix format simplifies what can often be a confusing process, ensuring students know exactly who to connect with for issues ranging from bullying and academic concerns to personal problems and uniform matters. By creating this accessible tool, we aimed to enhance student support and foster a proactive approach to problem-solving within the school community.

Showcasing School Pride: Bray Park's Detailed Staff Shirt Page
MyDiary was thrilled to help Bray Park State High School dedicate a full page to showcase their striking staff shirt and its rich symbolism. Initially facing space constraints, we collaborated to find an affordable solution that allowed this valuable information to be prominently displayed in the diary. The detailed explanations accompanying the shirt design, outlining the meaning behind the learning circles, staff representation, the "on their own journey" tagline and the principal's symbol, offer a unique insight into the school's values and culture. By prioritising this page, we ensured this important aspect of Bray Park's identity was effectively communicated to students.
