St Peters High School, Virar

DESCRIPTION :

Jesus Christ's ministry and mission in this world took a significant turn with the choosing of His 12 Apostles. He did not choose the rich or the powerful. He did not choose the intellectuals or the influential. He chose simple, poor and hardworking fishermen and labourers, men who reposed, their trust in Him and followed Him in their own humble way to spread His message to the four corners of the globe.

Our School Badge
 
During the Middle Ages, when nobility and knighthood were instituted as an investiture of distinction for lofty feats of gallantry and dedication and as a social class, both Noblemen and knights adopted various marks and symbols to signify their place of origin, their family branch, their titles their achievements, their ideals. The peculiar arrangement, combinations, measurements and colourings of those symbolic marks was done according to fixed rules and principles which developed into the Science of "Heraldry". Those distinctive marks were usually worn over the battle dress and on the Shield. Hence the combination of those symbols was known as the "Coat of Arms" or the "Badge". To it was added a scroll or ribbon containing a short phrase or sentence, which expressed in a condensed form the principle or ideal that guided the nobleman or the knight in his enterprises.
