The symbol of our School Motto “Semper Ascendens” is the Eagle, with wings outspread.

It declares the character of our school. The Eagle is wonderful bird always soaring upward in superb flight. Such is the aspiration of our School. To explain it in more familiar words we are straining to reach “Ever Higher” UP AND OUT AND OVER! Up where the mind seeks knowledge, Wisdom and Truth, where the heart in its refinement loves all that is good, beautiful and noble.

OUT into the broadways of virtues like order, honesty, service, devotion and sacrifice.

OVER the little disappointments, hurts and misunderstandings, over petty trifles and meanness, ignoble hates and desecrating pleasures; over failure and life’s confused alarms.

UP into that Joy and Peace which comes from doing God’s will; UP into union with God.

To this end our school. For this the staff, the timetable, lessons, examinations, games, co-curricular activities, communication of ideas, house-system, inter-school relations, the rule that restrains and the rule that helps us to give of our best. All this is grit about by deepest love of the Mass, the Sacraments, daily prayer and devotion to Mother Marie Therese. So in all our flight upwards we look to God to sustain us on the wing, with His Grace to aspire “EVER HIGHER”.
