Our School motto
Tempus celerius radio fugit – time flies faster than a weaver’s shuttle
Our motto represents the rich tapestry that is Abbotsleigh:
The ‘warp’ (the lengthwise threads) represents our strong foundations: our Christian faith, our moral purpose and our strong values and culture.
The ‘weft’ represents the woven pattern created by the weaver’s flying shuttle where the beautiful tapestry of Abbotsleigh’s rich and complex history continues to grow: day by day, month by month, year by year.
The motto was given to the School by Miss Marian Clarke, whose family’s crest was a weaver’s shuttle and whose family’s motto was: ‘Time flies faster than a weaver’s shuttle.’
