The College Crest

- The emblem, together with the
motto ‘Education for Total Liberation’ is symbolic of the ideals the college
stands for. The open book, the pen and receiving hands represent the reception
and assimilation of knowledge which liberates the individual from the
debilitating shackles of ignorance and incapacity. However the growth and
evolution of the individual through education is not seen as an end in
itself. The training, both academic and
extracurricular, seeks to foster in the students a keen awareness of their
communities armed with the skills to contribute positively to change and
reconstruction where required.
- The symbols take a new dimension of meaning in
connection with the Patron Saint of the college, Mother Mary, whose offering
hands represent a complete surrender to
the Eternal Wisdom. The tool for imparting wisdom, the pen, from another angle looks like a lighted candle that
dispels the darkness of ignorance and it signifies that the learning one
receives at the institution is not to be kept to oneself but to be
disseminated in the community.
