School mottos?

"unfortunately it didn't improve over the subsequent three verses

We didn't have a motto. However, the other high school on the campus had "Strive to succeed." I always thought that it sounded grim.

Our school hymn was “He who would valiant be” and the motto was taken from that “Follow the Master”
About 3 years ago I bought a book about The History of the school from its inception to its very sad demise in the 70’S.
It was also entitled Follow the Master.

That’s St John’s! I went there before going to St Mags! X

Luce Magistra....with the light as my teacher. Not that I ever knew what it meant,and I was there for 11 years,

Aim High and I've always tried to
homefarm Now there's a coincidence!
My personal motto is "conlineo"! I also try to!

The school in which I taught in Kenya had the motto 'Walk in the Light'. I think there is a hymn with this line. We called the school magazine 'Reflections'.

Grandetante my school motto was Ora et labora too - it was always pointed out to us that prayer came before work! I wonder if it was the same girls boarding school in Sussex?
Afterwards I went to an ordinary girl’s state grammar school where the motto was ‘I press toward the mark’ which was a bit obscure to us (from the Bible -St Paul I think?) - we weren’t sure what mark we were supposed to be pressing to!

Our’s was Alere Flammam. Keep the flame burning.

Another one with the motto Fortite, Fidelite, Felicite - Bravely, Faithfully and Cheerfully. School song was “Land of our birth we pledge to thee” although I believe it’s been changed now. It was a girls grammar school, state school, and has escaped becoming comprehensive.
