Dedication

“Valiant and True”   is dedicated to  St John Baptist de La Salle , founder of the worldwide Lasallian fraternity, to  Father J.B.Coppin  who founded our beloved school  and to all who have followed their noble footsteps in the cause of education of youth at our alma mater  - St Michael’s Institution,Ipoh , Malaysia.  To this day, St Michael’s is   a shining beacon that symbolises   education based on the Lasallian values of FAITH, ZEAL and COMMUNITY. Generations to come will continue to draw inspiration from St.Michael’s   - a  crucible  of excellence in education for leadership, service and the advancement of  human dignity.

                                                                                                                                                                                                   

SIGNUM FIDEI This Lasallian star – Signum Fidei -  is seen  in all our Lasllian schools in Malaysia and throughout the world. It is the star of faith that represents every Lasallian student and teacher .Our mission is to enable every child to be a living sign of faith wherever he goes, wherever he is, in everything he does.	Our  Motto : QUIS UT DEUS The  Latin words  “Quis Ut Deus” mean “Who is greater than God?”  The name “Michael” comes from the Greek language and it means the same – “Who is greater than God?”  The scales represent  Duty to God and Duty to Man. You will notice that it seems to say that Duty to God should be in balance with duty to Man.  No, the message is that  it is through our love, care and concern for our fellow beings that we truly show our love for God.	INDIVISA MANENT                                                                                  These chevrons  convey the indomitable and indivisible spirit of the La Sallian fraternity. They show the oneness of the fraternity in the face of all adversities. The chevrons remind many of a team of players with broken legs but they stiil stay true to one another as a team . This symbol is one of the  most eloquent signs  of  the  valiant and true.

Our school is named for St Michael, the Archangel. The story of St.Michael, the Archangel, is shared by all three Abrahamic faiths – Christianity,Islam and Judaism. The name “Michael” means “Quis Ut Deus” – Who is greater than God?
