Labori High School is a school in Paarl, Western Cape, South Africa.
History
Labori was founded on 22 May 1933. It was originally named Paarl Commercial High School. Since 1989 it was renamed to Labori High School and began to offer Commercial, Technical and General fields of subjects.
The School Badge
In red, between two gears of gold, is a silver upright column and a round disk of blue charged with a fleur-de-lis of gold. On a silver chief is a red Mercurius hat.
Symbolism of badge
The classic Mercurius hat with its two wings in chief (in red on black) is a symbol of commercial use, as the Mercurius staff in the arms of the Cape Technical College.
On the main part of the shield (with a red background) is the silver column or pillar, a symbol of resilience and wisdom.
In the column, a gold fleur-de-lis on a blue disc symbolises the Paarl (Paarl part of the weapon) and is also on the provincial badge. The golden gears on both sides of the column are an overall symbol of the technical fields of study and give balance to the weapon as a whole.
The gold band with the motto on it serves as a foundation or prop and rounds it all off.
