School Motto (1 Viewer)

[pri]

faber est suae est quisqui fortunae- each one is the maker of their own fortune.

its my schools ancient motto, its actually quite inspirational, and very non religious (100% atheist school)

the funny part is my school embodies this motto, believing that life is what you make of it, and its up to you to succeed, i.e dont depend on others for your success.

Our principal went to Syd Girls like 1000 billion years ago and she's always telling us how our motto is crappy compared to Syd Girls

Sydney Girls' motto: Labor Omnia Vincit. (Work Conquers All)... pffft that I say.

Sydney Boys' motto: Veritate et Virtute (Truth and Virtue) -
prefects motto: Veritate et Pudor (Truth and Humility).

im at fort too

a lot of my friends are christian... and i think thruout the whole skool mayb about 20 or 30 percent are christian

it does have activities such as STIVE and stuff - a group for christian students to meet up at lunch time or something ...

and every wednesday 6th period is "scripture" period for the people who are interested in learning about the bible

like 10 ppl go? most of them are yr 7'z

while the rest of the skool head off home early every wed 6th period ... and a lot head off to burwood to bum

no we have christian clubs set up by some ppl, but what I mean is my school is not a "believe in god and you shall succeed" type of place, like they dont actively endorse religion, nor do they diss it, its more about tolorance.

gung = work? ho = good?

'gung ho' basically means 'better'
'ho' means good

Our motto is "Seek wisdom in Christ"
The school I went to for years 7 - 10 had the slogan "Under your protection" which was rather pointless. My primary school's motto was "Love one another," lol.

my school's motto- 'act justly'. I think justice is highly opinionated
