Malacca High School crest was introduced in 1931 together with the school motto, Meliora Hic Sequamur (Here We Strive For Better Things). The colours of the crest are mauve and green.
The A Famosa (Old Fort) symbolises history, strength and stability.
Mauve symbolises aspiration and comfort.
Green symbolises freedom and peace.
This is the original and official school motto. It is
Latin for “Here We Strive For Better Things”. It was
coined by principal L.W. Arnold when the school
moved to the present site in 1931, to coincide with
the initials of the school, Malacca High School.
