A School Crest Marks their Tradition

In 1999 the College commissioned an intricate mosaic of the Dominican coat of arms to enter the student reception precinct. The work, ' Veritas', speaks of the cherished Dominican motto of Truth. The mosaic comprises hand-cut tesserae from an anti-slip vitrified ceramic tile, specifically for commercial floors. The Dominican motto of 'Veritas' is part of the order's 800-year-old history. The simple monochromatic black and white mosaic are reminiscent of the stylised black and white pavement mosaics that were dominant in Italy during the second and early third centuries AD.
