NAME OF THE SCHOOL
The school was named after a former administrator of the Orange Free State, Mr. J.W.J.C du Plessis.
SYMBOLISM FROM OUR SCHOOL BADGE
The open book symbolises the faith of the Afrikaner son and daughter. This symbol takes a dominant position on the badge. The well-known herthoring suggests an Afrikaner identity with a message of "being ready". The anvil portrays the shaping power of labour. The motto I BELIEVE confirms the ideals that are nurtured for this school.
