The first KGV's badge.
The legend is represented in the school crest which has the image of a warrior slaying a dragon. This image is an analogy that great leaders and warriors will emerge from this school. Beneath the image are the words “Veni, Vidi, Vici” on a yellow banner which means 'I came, I saw and I conquered'. These words are attributed to Julius Caesar. The yellow banner, on the other hand, signifies undivided loyalty to the school, country, religion and king. Image:Second Badge of SMK King George V.svg

In the year 1953, the school badge was altered as the image of the cross and a legendary western leader was considered inappropriate. The school crest now had only the initials “KGV” on the badge. It was then changed again. Image:Badge of SMK King George V.svg
