School motto
The motto "In Word and Deed" embraces the aim of the school which is the building of a caring community based on sincerity, mutual trust and respect for one another, single-mindedly working towards the betterment of the school.
School crest
The initials for the school, BS, are incorporated in the crest. The letters are stylised to form a ribbon-like B-shaped design, representing the scrolls of learning and knowledge. Leading out from the graphic symbol are the different paths a student takes to uphold the motto of "In word and deed". The yellow stands for honour and loyalty, while the blue stands for sincerity.

The last graduating batch as Braddellites was in 1999, after which they merged with Westlake Secondary School to form Braddell-Westlake Secondary School. Braddell Secondary School's campus became Campus 1, housing upper secondary students. Braddell-Westlake Secondary School's students and teachers were transferred to Guangyang Secondary School after closing down in 2005.
