Warra, meaning language, speech, and the power of words, reflects the lively discussions, presentations, and exchange of ideas that take place in this teaching area. The current home of our Languages team, the word Wara is particularly relevant to their work, but also encompasses the role of all the teachers who have used this building in the past, and those who will use the building in the future.
The symbol shows that personal power comes from within, while the outer part reminds us of the importance of speaking and listening to language.
