Our School Badge and Motto

The heraldic symbols represent important aspects of the School:

  • The plume of ostrich feathers or Prince of Wales feathers: service. The prince's motto is "Ich dien".
  • The torch of learning: The School is a source of knowledge and light.
  • The paschal lamb: The crest of the de Villiers family who owned the farm on which Fish Hoek has grown. The lamb is an important symbol in more than one religion.
  • The motto ministerium veritasque, or Service and Truth, upholds important guiding principles.

School Song
'Service and Truth'

Standing proud near the shore of the bay
There’s a school which serves the land
Where love and knowledge of this world
With love of man goes hand in hand.

Service and truth is the motto we bear
Service and truth is our lifelong prayer,
Guiding our footsteps everywhere,
Service and Truth!

Working hard with the will to succeed
We strive to give of our best.
We try each day to work and play
For each life must be lived with zest.

Service and truth...

Growing strong as we live a full life,
We face each challenge unbowed
Protected by our God and Father
Fish Hoek Primary stands strong and proud.

Service and truth...
