St Aloysius Catholic College

Interpretation Signage

St Aloysius Catholic College approached Flying Colours Group with a vision: to create a meaningful, permanent space on campus where students, staff, and families could engage with and learn about Tasmanian Aboriginal culture. The signage needed to be educational, visually impactful, and seamlessly integrated into the school’s landscaped environment.

Our Solution

We designed and fabricated a series of corten steel plinths featuring Aboriginal stories, symbols, and language. Each panel was carefully considered to ensure cultural respect and storytelling integrity. The natural rusted finish of the corten steel complemented the existing landscape, while the bold, laser-cut designs stood out as powerful visual markers.

The installation forms a walkthrough-style experience—encouraging curiosity, sparking conversation, and building awareness of Tasmania’s rich First Nations heritage.

Project Features

Custom-designed corten steel plinths with laser-cut Indigenous motifs
Interpretive storytelling panels featuring local Aboriginal narratives
Collaborative approach with cultural consultants and the school team
Durable materials suited to high-traffic school environments
Seamless landscape integration for natural flow and accessibility

Impact

This signage project has transformed a previously under-utilised outdoor area into a learning and reflection zone that invites students and their families to explore Aboriginal history and stories every day. It’s become a much-loved feature of the campus—used during learning activities, assemblies, and community events.

What the Client Said

“The new signage has become a focal point for students and staff. It not only adds to the beauty of our campus but gives us a lasting, respectful way to share important cultural knowledge.”
— St Aloysius Staff Member

Why It Matters

At Flying Colours Group, we believe signage should do more than just direct—it should connect. This project showcases how thoughtful design can honour culture, support education, and inspire future generations.

It’s our goal at Flying Colours to not only exceed your expectations but sprinkle them with confetti and knock them out of the park. So, if your current look needs a shake-up or you’re in need of some simple (or not-so-simple) signage or printing, then hey! Let’s chat.

Fantastic service! I enquired about signage about 7 weeks before I got approval but they were very accommodating. When I went back to Matt he was very clear in the cost, what he needed and the timeline. I was pleasantly surprised when the signage was delivered and installed the next day because they happened to have some extra time so just dropped in to get it done. Great service!

We were thrilled with the recent casket wrap. The Flying Colours Group Tas team hit the brief perfectly and it was a talking point all afternoon of how well it represented our Dad. We didn’t make it easy with a quick turnaround required, but they delivered. Our whole hearted thanks.

We’ve worked with the Flying Colours Group Tas team on a number of projects, including our recent brand refresh of all seven Bank of Us retail stores. The team take the time to understand us and our brand to make sure they deliver on time and up to a high standard. We love that we’re supporting a like-minded Tasmanian owned company when we work with them. We highly recommend Flying Colours Group Tas for any printing services.
