The arms replaced an earlier unsuitable design (see below). The green field and corn represent agriculture, the gold bar represents gold mining, and the three roundels with fleur-de-lis are from the arms of the Cape Colony, from which the majority of the first pioneers came. The lion in the crest was adopted from the arms of Rhodes. The motto "Discrimine Salus" means "In Discrimination there is Safety", taken from the motto of the Traill family, from whom Fairbridge was descended, and refers to the careful selection of the site of Salisbury. | The arms replaced an earlier unsuitable design (see below).
