Earlier this term the college unveiled the all encompassing logo to the delight of college students and staff, and parents.
A proud college principal, Graeme Jennings explained the college was keen to let everyone know that while the college was located across two sites - Forster and Tuncurry - it was the one learning facility.
This encapsulates one college, three campuses.

"This encapsulates one college, three campuses," Mr Jennings said.
He explained the circle represented the one college concept, the red, light and dark blue colours was for the three colleges, while the endearing dolphin was a symbol of the local environment and the totem of the local Worimi people.
Launched just two weeks ago, the project had been on the drawing board for the past couple of years, and was a collaboration between staff, the P&C, local Aboriginal representatives, and a graphic designer.
Drought, fires and then covid delayed the initial launch of the logo.
"It is representative of what we are.
"It is like a breath of fresh air without losing our history.
"Staff and parents love it."
A new uniform would be up for discussion in the near future.
