The Woodcroft College emblem has individual elements that represent a particular value: an empty cross as a sign for hope; a serpent as a reminder of faith; a heart-shaped shield as a token of love; and a 'W' inside the cross representing the Woodcroft College Community. The Woodcroft College colours of navy blue and gold are associated with the school's patron saint, Hilda of Whitby, while the red is a liturgical colour of the Christian churches.
Sub-schools system
Woodcroft College is divided into three sub-schools each with their own heads, classes, and subject teachers. The sub-schools, their current Heads of School and year levels are as follows:
Junior School: A Mikulcic
Middle School: T Charlton
Senior School: A Griffiths
Every year level in the Middle and Senior Schools each has a Year Level Manager who effectively manages students and year level issues that may arise. The sub-schools also operate their own Student Leadership Teams which help raise issues with the appropriate YLM or Head of School.
House system
Upon commencement at Woodcroft College, each student is assigned to one of the four houses with all other members of a family being assigned to the same house. The House System acts as the focus for families, sport and student leadership in the three Sub-Schools. In the Junior School, the houses support sporting, cultural and co-curricular activities and its students compete within their classes and year levels earning points for their house in the annual Junior School Sports Day situated on campus. In the Middle and Senior Schools, the houses compete against each other in the annual Interhouse Swimming Carnival located at the SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre since 2012, and Interhouse Athletics Carnival located at SA Athletics Stadium. Middle School students also compete in house activities once every term - where students are split into several groups within their year level with each group consisting of students from the four houses - to earn further points for their house. The names of the four houses originated from famous influences and areas situated near or around the College.
