The
flame is a symbolic representation of energy and passion – a passion that ignites spirit and inspires the mind. Further, it represents the inner light, the Divine, within.
The flame incorporates shapes of embrace and outreach –
the hand/s, the encircling, connected forms around the hand, indicating the interconnectedness of all, the reaching out to, and inclusion of, others.
The
green leaf and
blue water droplet represent the commitment to living Laudato Si' – seeking integral ecology and interconnection with all of creation.
The surrounding presence of
blues (dark and aqua) symbolizes the global world within which Holy Spirit College is located and to which it responds.
The use of
three colours within the flame represents the Trinity.
The
shield or
'family crest' identifies a particular family or community – in this case, the college community at Fitzgibbon. It is a community committed to igniting spirit and inspiring minds.
