海星校徽
SCHOOL CREST
Marist "M". The international crest of the Marist Brothers is the A.M. Monogram.
It is fairly certain the monogram had been devised in honour of Our Lady long before the Marist Brothers came into being in 1817. The letters probably stand for Ave Maria (Hail Mary).
The twelve stars over the Monogram are derived from Chapter 12 of the Apocalypse:
"And a great sign appeared in Heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars."
The Church through the ages has accommodated this text to the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin, and the stars are thus symbolic of the role that Our Lady plays in the history of our salvation. Most Marist schools throughout the world use the A.M. Monogram and stars as part of their crest.
海星中学校徽上的"M"字母来源于圣母昆仲会国际徽章上的"A.M"字母组合。
这个字母组合的意思是“万福玛丽亚”。作为对圣母玛丽亚的赞颂，这个字母组合早在圣母昆仲会于1817年成立前已经开始使用。
字母上端12颗星星的设计灵感来自《若望默示录》第十二章："那时，天上出现了一个大异兆：有一个女人，身披太阳，脚踏月亮，头戴十二颗星的荣冠。" 天主教会使用这段文字为圣母加冕，因此星星象征着圣母救世。世界各地由圣母昆仲会开办的学校，多数皆使用星星和“A.M.”这个字母组合作为自己校徽的一部分。
