AETERNA NON CADUCA- Translated as " Not for this life only, but for eternity" The Motto is a reminder to all students that the college is firmly committed to the inculcation of the ideals of service and love of God and neighbour, and to the building a society where peace and justice can prevail, and where there can flourish spiritual calues and respect for the religious and cultural traditions of all.
ST. STANISLAUS COLLEGE CREST
The Saint Stanislaus College Crest is derived from the coat of arms of St. Stanislaus Kostka's family. Their family was traced backed to a general in the 10th century who invented a special type of horseshoe( with spikes) by which his troops defeated the russian army on the ice, hence the horseshoe on the coat of arms. When the family became Christian, a cross was added to the horseshoe.

As I remember the story, the spikes on the horseshoe were replaced with the crosses when they family converted to Christianity. Loving the blog.
