St John's College

St. John's College, a residential college within the University of Sydney (see www.stjohns.usyd.edu.au), has its own flag: green, with a green shield fimbriated yellow, featuring a halo with rays shining downwards, above a triangle above an eagle (wings half-spread), all in yellow. Beneath the shield is a scroll, again in green fimbriated yellow, probably bearing some kind of motto in yellow.
