From the College of Arms, London, we have obtained the following complete authentic
description: It is a combination of the crests of Archdeacon Barnes, our Founder,
on the left side, and that of his wife, who belonged to the Carnac family, on the
right. On the left side is a blue shield with the faces of three white leopards
and on the right, four quarters alternately white and blue with crossed swords,
three five-pointed stars and a crescent.
The swords are in their natural steel colour with the points upward. The stars are
blue over the white quarters and white over the blue. Similarly the crescent is
white and blue. The bird is a white falcon with a golden beak and legs. It is standing
on a green mount with six alternate twists of white and blue underneath. The motto,
Accept Robore Surgam, in Latin, can be translated, "I shall arise with the strength
I have received." This has a three-fold significance. In our school days and after,
we rise to even greater heights, fortified with the strength of body, mind and spirit
which we have gained while in school.
