School Crest and Song

Discover the meaning behind Queenstown Secondary School's crest and song, rooted in the values of courage and service.

Last updated 7 July 2026

Sketch-style banner of Queenstown Secondary School with motto Leaders for Tomorrow, Anchored in Values, Committed to Serve.

Shield crest with an open book, lion on a tower, gear wheel, and motto "Berani Berkhidmat" in red and blue.

The School Crest consists of a shield with the school colors, sky Blue and maroon. The sky blue reflects the limitless opportunities to strive for and the maroon signifies the spirit of fraternity.

The open book symbolizes learning and knowledge, and the wheel symbolizes the technical aspect of education offered in the school. On the tower, which denotes strength, is the lion which signifies courage and from which Singapore derives its name.

Below the shield is a banner with the school motto “Berani Berkhidmat” written on it. The motto, which means “Dare To Serve”, is most appropriate at a time when our young independent Singapore requires men and women of courage to serve her and we are confident all Queenstownians will equal to the challenge that lies ahead.

School Song

In Queenstown Secondary our minds are trained
Our hands acquire the skill
Whatever the task we’re here to serve
We have the heart, the will

Queenstown Secondary the pioneer
The school that leads the way
In every field we do our best
To learn, to work, to play

(Chorus)

Berani Berkhidmat, dare to serve
Dare to do to be!
Dare to serve – yes! with our hearts
To keep our country free
Berani Berkhidmat, dare to serve
Dare to do to be!
We dare to serve – yes! with our hearts
To keep our country free
