Nicknames, Mottos and Traditions
The TCS athletics teams have been known since the 1980s as the Bears.
The school motto is Beati Mundo Corde, Latin for "Blessed are the Pure in Heart." The school sports colours are black and maroon but the school's uniform and coat of arms incorporate the school's corporate colour of blue.
Every year starts off with the annual "New Students Fun and Games" in which the old students mix and mingle with the new students in a variety of activities across campus culminating in the favourite "Mud Pit" in which the Headmaster, faculty, and students take part in by diving into a mud pit to declare their entrance into the new school year.
The Bears have most recently proven to be strong competitors in Men's Rugby and Women's Soccer and Softball. These teams won CISAA in the '08 school year.
Both the bigside (varsity) boys football and bigside boys soccer team won CISAA in the '09 school year.
The bigside boys rugby team also had great success in the '10 school year coming first in CISAA and third in OFSAA.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
