The School’s Crest consists of two concentric circles, in which the school’s motto is displayed in Latin. The school’s motto surrounds the school’s symbol, a golden star.
The star represents the potential of every individual to harness his or her individual talent and ‘shine’, thus making a contribution to the society in which he or she lives. Reverend Margaret ‘Madge’ Saunders adapted the crest design and motto.
Our School Crest
Our Motto
“Ita Splendeat Lux Vestra” which translates to “Let Your Light So Shine”
The School’s Motto is derived from the New Testament Scripture located in St. Matthew 5:16. In English, it says: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.
In Latin, it reads: Ita splendeat lux vestra coram hominibus, ut videant vestra bona opera, et glorificent partrem vestrum qui in ccelis
Uniform
The School Uniform is the Black Watch Tartan. The tartan was chosen to symbolize the school’s solidarity with the Presbyterian Church (Church of Scotland), which would later be amalgamated with the Congregational Union of Jamaica and The Disciples of Christ, to form the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.
The colour green is symbolic of the greenery and trees of the original meadow like area. The blue is symbolic of the stream and brooks which were present. This was the origin of the name ‘MEADOWBROOK’.

On truth and love, bulwarks against all wrong

We build our school on thee, O Lord
To Thee we bring our common need
The loving heart, the helpful word,
The tender thought, the kindly deed;
With those we pray, Thy Spirit may,
Enrich and bless our School alway.

Guide thou our faltering steps aright.
And lift our thoughts to heaven above
Dear Lord, we pray, Thy Spirit may
Be present in our School always.
Hold Thou each hand and keep it just:
Touch Thou our lips and make them
If thou art with us, Lord we must
Be faithful friends and comrades sure.
Dear Lord, we pray, Thy spirit May
