The Reddam motto has its origins in Scottish history. The first Monarch of Crawford saved King David the First of Scotland. He saved him from certain death by a stag during a hunting expedition. The Monarch of Crawford adopted the motto “TUTUM TE REBORE REDDAM”. It means “I will keep you safe by my strength”. The Monarch’s Coat-of-Arms included the stag’s head. It was a symbol of the Monarch’s bravery. On marrying his wife, the monarch included the fleur-de-lis in his Coat-of-Arms. Since then, the Coat of Arms of the Crawford clan has always incorporated the stag and fleur-de-lis.
In 1999, Mrs Crawford-Kempster worked with Mr Burnell. Mr Burnell was the State Herold at the Bureau of Heraldry in Pretoria. They created a Coat-of-Arms for Reddam House. They used the elements of the stag and the fleur-de-lis.
The school’s name is taken from the Latin for “give back”. The school motto is “We shall give back”. This is a fitting sentiment in the new South Africa. It serves as a reminder to students of the importance of contributing to the community. Tutum means protect. Roboris means strength. Reddam means give back.
