[edit] Emblem
The QSS emblem consists of three sub designs against a purple background (field) & the color purple represents loyalty. The upper part of the emblem (or chief) depicts a touch encircled by laurel. The torch represents learning and knowledge, while the laurel is the success attained as a result. The left bottom design originates from the basic emblem of the City of Singapore - a lion on a castle.
The lion represents courage & excellence, while the castle on which it stands represents strength & stability, while the spider web at the emblem showcases the obvious - diligence of the spider as it spins the web.
The main quality in which all Queenswayans should strive to attain is diligence which in turn , will ensure success.Hence the school motto.
