School Crest & School Song
The Swiss Cottage Secondary School Crest
The crest is headed by five stars which symbolise Equality, Peace, Progress, Justice, and Democracy. These are ideals on which brotherhood of persons can be built. Below, there is a torch which signifies the light of knowledge and the love of learning. Encompassing it are five rings symbolising sports and the part they can play to link persons together. The five horizontal bands denote the five houses as rivals in competition but steadfast in fraternity. The motto of the school is SCIENTIAE PATRIAEQUE GRATIA or FOR THE SAKE OF LEARNING AND FOR THE STATE. Whatever is undertaken or promoted in the school must seek to develop within pupils a love of learning and desire to improve through learning. This sense of personal fulfilment reaches its ultimate meaning and purpose in the service of the nation.

| TWIN STREAMS Mari bersama-sama Menjunjung lambang sekolah Bersatu berjuang, bersatu berjuang di medan sukan dan pelajaran We’ll pave new ways Blaze a path of glory We’ll reach new heights In two fold endeavour Twin Streams, Twin Streams merged With but one heart by Mr. Charles Lazaroo |
BLAZE A PATH OF GLORY A school standing high in our esteem, She soars aloft and reigns supreme, We cherish her and revere her name The school we love of glorious fame. Swiss Cottage! Swiss Cottage! Blaze a path of glory! Surging forward to greater heights of truth, A beacon of light in our story, A mould to guide and shape our youth. Swiss Cottage! Swiss Cottage! A sign of dedication, Forging friendships with us all, Our prayers, our praise and adoration, Our pride, our joy, our school! original by R.W. Mosbergen revised and harmonised by Derek Cable |
