Symbolism
Arms
These are the arms of Archbishop Robert John Renison, granted in 1935 by Ulster King of Arms, differenced by the addition of a green border charged with maple leaves and buckles. The buckles are from the arms of Canon Archibald Howard Skirving, the Chairman of the Board of Governors at the time of the grant.
Crest
The moose’s head comes from the arms of Archbishop Renison. The cross on the neck is an allusion to the arms of Ian L. Campbell, the Principal at the time of the grant.
Motto
Meaning “But under one sky”, this Latin phrase was the motto of Archbishop Renison, who favoured it in the form “One sky over all”.
