Darwin High School's new look
Wednesday 29 July 2026 marked a significant milestone for the recently established Darwin High School (Years 7 to 12), with the unveiling of its new school logo, the first change to the school's visual identity in more than 60 years.
The new logo represents the beginning of a new chapter as Darwin High School continues its journey as a comprehensive Year 7 to 12 secondary school.
Under the Northern Territory Government's Secondary Reform Program, Darwin Middle School and Darwin High School united to become the Northern Territory's largest secondary school at the beginning of the year, creating a vibrant and diverse learning community.
Throughout the logo design process, it was important to honour the heritage and achievements of both schools while creating a contemporary identity that reflects a united, future-focused school community.
This was developed through an extensive consultation process involving students, staff, families and alumni. More than 1,140 students and staff participated in workshops, surveys, voting sessions and community engagement activities, while families and alumni also contributed valuable feedback throughout the process.
As part of the official launch, the school commemorated this historic milestone with the planting of a banyan tree. Featured within the new logo, the banyan symbolises strength, connection, resilience and growth, reflecting the coming together of 2 school communities as one and the shared journey of Darwin High School's future.
