School Sheild
The crest of the School Shield is the family crest of Bishop Cotton of Calcutta. The crest is divided vertically in the centre. The right side (dexter) has the arms of the Bishop of Calcutta. The Bishop's mitreon top is green ona white background and the staff and open Bible are in the bottom half on a red background. The left side (sinister) has three skeins of cotton and a Chevcon (inverted v) on a blue background. This side represents the ancient house to which Bishop Cotton belongede. The crest thus symbolises the godliness, service and courage for which the School stands.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“After school days are over, the girls ... find no natural connection between their school life and the new one on which they enter, and are apt to be aimless, if not listless, needing external stimulus, and finding it only prepared for them, it may be, in some form of social excitement. ...girls after leaving school need intellectual interests, well regulated and not encroaching on home duties.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
