Logan Park High School principal Jane Johnson says researching the history of the school's uniform, and particularly its armorial ensign monogram, has been fascinating.
What is one strong childhood memory?
Miss Arrow, my first teacher at Linwood Ave School, in Christchurch. She was a smiling angel with a magic learning wand.
What is your message?
Consider the law of cause and effect with all of its dynamic human and environmental layers, so we can live in a sustainable way.
If you were going to an island and could only take three things, what would they be and why?
Dollars or a credit card for meals, a cheap hotel and scooter hire (I'm thinking of my favourite island, Rarotonga); a friend or family member for good company; and a well-chosen new book for spiritual sustenance.
What's something only your family knows about you?
How often principals are late home for dinner.
You are a new addition to the crayon box. What colour are you, and why?
My focus would be a reviewed shade of red-maroon. This is because I have been looking at our school uniform maroon and its tenuous link to our school monogram's red heart pierced by three nails meeting at a point, symbolising passion for education.
