Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 30, 1931.
The Swan is taken from the Australian Coat-of-Arms, and the Lymphad, symbol of discovery by sea, from the New Zealand Coats-of-Arms.
Chiron, as the Mentor of Nestor, may be regarded as the Father of Wisdom. He holds a bow as a symbol that he can protect education by force. Apollo, God of Healing, holds his best-known symbol, the Harp, to show he can instill knowledge by gentle means.
The translation of the motto is: 'The flame of glory is the torch of the mind'.
