Symbolism
The blue and white are the official colours of the school. The chevron symbolizes the “ridge”, a geographic feature associated with the region that also appears in the arms of Ridgetown. The lion head is the school’s mascot. Its coronet of oak leaves and acorns is a reference to an old oak tree standing near the school and alludes to the school’s team name, the “Royals”. The lamps of learning were taken from the school’s former emblem. The turtle is a symbol used by First Nations and particularly by the Delaware of the Thames Valley.
