Our motto
In 1924, under the Headmistresses Miss Minnie Roseby and Miss Clara Roseby, the school motto was chosen. The motto was announced in The Kambala Chronicle, August 1924. It states:
“We have adopted as our School motto, ‘Esto sol testis’ (Let the sun be our witness). It means ‘everything above board and in the light of day’ – a very bright and inspiring message.”
A School in the Anglican Tradition
Kambala is a school in the Anglican tradition. We maintain a wonderful relationship with St Michael’s Anglican Church in Vaucluse, and the girls attend some events there throughout the year.
