Hello lizizkool7-ga,



'Age quod agas' is a variant of the old motto 'age quod agis' 


From Wikipedia’s List of Latin proverbs:

Age quod agis - "Do what you do", in the sense of "Do well what you
do" or "Be serious in what you do"
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_proverbs


The Westbourne Grammar School motto is: 
"Age quod Agas" - That which you do, do well. 
http://www.westbournegrammar.com/php/secondary.php


From the Latin Motto Page: 
Age quod agis!
Do what you are doing!
http://www.rain.org/~rcurtis/latinm.html


*Age* is the imperative "Do!" and *quod agis* is a common latin
expression (as  used in everyday speech ) meaning "what you do".
So a literal, or direct, translation would be "Do what you do".
