Heraldry of our school badge
The demi-lion rampant is reminiscent of Sir George Grey, after whom Greytown itself was named. This has been taken from his coat of arms. The Zulu assegai reminds us of our school motto 'Aim High' and secondly of the history of Natal. Umvoti County, as one of the best watered parts of Natal is represented by the three wavy lines.
