“A school without a crest and motto is rather like a boat without a rudder. We had nothing to steer by, no noble through that belonged peculiarly to us to inspire and guide us, no symbolic picture to remind us of that through till our crest became a reality, an almost living reality. The crest seems to us a sentient thing, look down on us today, as it will on the girls in this school hundreds of years hence, encouraging and inspiring us with its wonderful symbolism of health, strength, purity, and cheerfulness.

In the foreground is the green grass-the symbol of growth. The school has grown since its first foundation, when its members were few, it is growing now and it will ever grow. It will perhaps grow to be the biggest and finest in our island, and grow to be famous for the fine women it produces, women whom their country will be proud of.
