THE SCHOOL - Symbols
 This
crest incorporates the letters TCEGS (Tamworth Church
of England Girls School).
Although the school is no longer known by TCEGS, the crest
remains as the school insignia.
Laborare est orare - "To work
is to pray"
 The
Australian native flannel flower (Actinotus helianthi),
is represented on the stain glass windows of Calrossy House.
The reason for its inclusion is unknown.
The Australian bush is a landscape known for its extremes.
As with all Australian natives, the flannel flower must be
adaptable and enduring in order to survive.
A flannel flower pendant is awarded
each year to the Dux of Calrossy. It symbolises vigour, application
and resilience.
 A
Scottish Thistle is included as one stained glass window in
Calrossy House. It represented the Patterson family links
to Scotland.
The school currently makes an award
of the thistle to a member of staff who has made a significant
contribution to the school.
