artist’s note
In designing the Mabonwana football jersey, I was inspired by all of the students’ work, especially those works featuring the image of a tree. Trees have strong roots and grow tall, proud and strong. VC+SA is about student growth, rooted in personal and group development.

My logo features a tree growing proudly from a strong root, surrounded by a crest. These images combined symbolize the strength of students growing through the VC+SA program, and the school’s numerous accomplishments.

This program will undoubtedly serve as the backbone of bonding among students who will grow strong, learning solid life lessons as well as football skills. The students of Mabonwana are also learning independence.
