"Faith with Fortitude".
Very boring, not very gung-ho like some you see. Its even a public school, but it sounds religious :confused: .

Incidently, my school crest (badge, thing, whatever) is a hand holding a torch, but looks like a hand holding a Maccas softserve. :p

my dictionary says "gung-ho adj. zealous, eager. [Chinese gonghe work together] "

but I dunno, I don't even speak any form of chinese ! I've just picked up the word from other people.

meh, why not ? Now I'm curious - I didn't even realise it wasn't english, although looking at it now it does seem it.

Besides the dictionary is on the comp, its not like I had to actually turn pages (ye gods) or anything. :rolleyes:

Sefton High School - "sincerity, scholarship, service"

Our principal went to Syd Girls like 1000 billion years ago and she's always telling us how our motto is crappy compared to Syd Girls

NSGH ---> "Ad Altoira"

Translation - (Moving) '"Towards Higher Things" (THat's what it says in my diary anyway, who knows, only about 2ppl study latin in my grade)

Which is Kinda uncanny since my primary school motto was:

"To higher things"

I believe it's a global conspiracy to put me in schools supposedly moving higher (towards an enlightened place???). ALthough i've been more of an stationary passenger in both of them.
