The CACaburra - Coomera Anglican College

The College mascot is the CACaburra. The name is derived from combining the College initials of CAC with an Australian Kookaburra which is the central symbol of the logo.

The kookaburra is characterised by steely vision, with a patient inquisitive eye on the world, as it actively seeks its prey, looking to take flight and strike with commitment and determination.

The laugh and song of the kookaburra is symbolic of the joy and community feel that all in our College experience every day.

Under the CACuburra banner hosts a mirid of our College representative sporting and cocurricular teams and activities.

In aboriginal mythology, one Dreaming says:

“The Great Spirit Biami created the first Kookaburra to call out when the sun rose each morning to awaken the people and day creatures. He did this with a loud, ringing laugh so the people and creatures awake with gladness in their hearts; and so the Great Spirit Biami was happy”.

As the College works together to educate the whole student; Mind, Heart, Soul and Strength, we recognise the importance of student representation in our community. If a student represents the College in any activity, they do so proudly as a CACaburra.

All representative activities, and the efforts of our students in their chosen activity, are seen as equally important, and valued equally.
