Afrikaans | blazon wanted |

Origin/meaning
The arms are not officially granted.
The first quarter is supposed to represent the arms of Jan van Riebeeck, whose family bore: gules, three annulets or (see Cape Town. The anchor in the second quarter symbolises the Cape Colony – and one is still found in the arms of Western Cape Province.
The tent in the third quarter represents the military camp in Wynberg, established under British rule in the late 18th century. This camp still operates. The fourth quarter shows what is supposed to be a grape vine. The fleurs de lis in the arms represent the French refugees who settled at the Cape in the 1680s, many of whom contributed to the wine industry at the Cape. This represents the wine industry, established very early in Wynberg.
The school motto is Supera Moras (Overcoming difficulties).
