Our Mascot
A symbol of courage since the ancient and medieval eras, the dragon – Buckle Buckley’s mascot – reflects the hope that members of the House will display in his or her everyday behaviour the qualities of courage and strength in direction, seeking to protect and further the House’s glory through their actions. The fiery breath of the dragon symbolizes each breath we take to be one of ignited passion and drive. The House motto In alis Virtutis – soaring on the wings of courage – guides Buckle Buckleyans to unite as one, to bring forth the House rising to conquer new peaks.
In this view of the world, the job of heroes is to enlighten the world by loving it, starting with themselves. Their task is not to slay the dragon, within or without, but to affirm the deepest level of truth about it: that is, that we are all one.
— Carol Pearson.
