The core values are RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY & LEARNING (their CAPS not mine).
In my days there would have been some dodgy crest with the words ‘quoad doctrinam responsabilitatis’ underneath, or something like that.
At my primary school we didn’t have a bloody clue what our motto meant and happily ignored it. I am pretty sure none of the teachers had a clue either. I just checked and my primary school has now changed the motto. It’s now ‘Play the Game’. I like that a lot more than ‘Respect, Responsibility and Learning’. There’s wriggle room in ‘Play the Game’.
But oddly enough, as well their core values, Clovelly Public School does have a shield with a motto. It says ‘Aim High’. Go figure.
