I would almost bet that the badge is from the Anglican Church and at a guess is dated around the 1920s - 1930s and another guess is that it was worn by a pupil of one of hte Anglican Private Schools such as St Hildas in Dunedin. My guesses are not long shots but based on the fact that I have an identical badge here which was worn by the Dragons Mudder when she was a Boarder and Pupil of St Hildas in the 1920s or 30s - my mother of my kids was born when her mudder was about 48 so that puts the Mudder in Law at school about 1930...I think! I will be interested to hear what others have to say about this badge but I wouyld bet that I am right. Beati Mundo Cordi means Blessed are the Pure at Heart - after looking at your badge I can now say this after a bit of research - if you had found it in Dunedin then it would definitely be St Hildas Dunedin secondary School. After more research and looking at other Anglican Secondary School mottos I think your badge is indeed St Hildas, Dunedin. I leave it to you to judge by comparing it with the Dragons Mudders one.
