POTCHEFSTROOM HIGH SCHOOL FOR BOYS
Country: South Africa
Campus/location : Potchefstroom, North West
| Afrikaans | blazon wanted |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms are not officially granted.
During the 1905 hunting season, just before the first Springbok team went on their rugby tour, the headmaster C.D. Hope was given the horns of a springbok by his brother-in-law. These horns, mounted, are in the school’s museum and a springbok head forms part of the school’s badge.
The school's motto, Iustorum Semita Lux Splendens, was adapted by the founder C.D. Hope, from Proverbs 4:18, and means "The path of righteousness (alternately: the just) is (as) a shining light."
