School Badge

It was decided at a Board Meeting that the arms of the Diocese be adopted as the School’s arms and be registered as such at the College of Heralds.  This is the emblem on the front wall of the Senior School, above the porch, which is now to be seen on the Scholars’ Badge and the Games’ Badge.  However, the badge the girls wear (as shown on the left) is different.

In 1923 the Cathedral Schools and the Bombay Scottish Education Society’s Schools were amalgamated to form ‘The Anglo Scottish Education Society’ and Miss Whitfield, the Principal of the Girls’ School wanted a badge which was representative of both elements of the Society: Anglican and Scottish.  Hence a badge was designed in which the Bishop’s Mitre represented the Anglican side, while the Scottish neighbours were symbolised by the white diagonal cross of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland.  The girls have proudly worn this badge ever since.
