| About the Dominican Crest |
The single word ‘Veritas’ epitomises the aim of Dominican Schools and Colleges – the pursuit of Truth in all its forms. The centrality of the cross on the crest, together with the symbolism of the white and black, provide a focus and an inspiration for the Christian student. White, traditionally associated with the Risen Christ, penetrates the darkness of ignorance and sin. In mediaeval times however, black and white together symbolised humility and purity of life – hence the tradition of black and white for Dominicans. |
