Does anyone know the school latin motto?
Hello, I was wandering if anyone knows the latin motto because I have a peculiar interview that "what school you went to" is more important than what is on your CV. Furthermore, a translation into english would really be particularly helpful

Fear God, Honour the Queen, Love the Brotherhood (in that order) is the school motto BUT ..... each Block has a house motto over the door, and all, except Peele have it in Latin - eg. Middleton's is Festinae Lente i.e. "make haste slowly". Peele's is quite extraordinary - "Passing Away". Is that because it almost falls off the end of the Avenue, or what?

Also hertford ladies we had the tradition on our day of leaving to circle round the statue in quad and sing something but cant think what and was of the understanding it was a Hertfors tradition
