The badge
It features a central crossed crosslet in red (an insignia which forms
part of the coat-of-arms for the City of Bulawayo). The school motto,
“Our Hope Is Constant In Thee”, found underneath the crosslet, affirms
the school's Christian basis. Above the crosslet are three interlocking
gold-coloured amulets which are symbolic, on three different levels,
depending on the context in which one wishes to view them. It symbolises
the teachers, pupils, and parents; or the academic, cultural, and
physical aspects of the school; or the commercial, industrial, and
educational professions which co-operated to establish the school.
