	St Christina’s [[motto]] is ''ex cinera volumus'' - “from ashes we fly”, likening the miraculous revival to a phoenix’s flight. This was chosen by popular vote in 2022, and replaced the original motto ''duo capita plura sunt quam unum'' – “two heads are better than one”.

	The college [[device]] has a depiction of Flessie (Flinders Nessie), the sea serpent that lives in the lake on campus. St Christina is also commonly associated with ducks - in the full coat of arms, the device is supported by two pacific black ducks, known as “Cheese” and “Quackers.” The association is also perpetuated by the legend of ~~the~~ Great Duck - a giant duck that is said will come to the College in its hour of need. Members have been known to try and summon it using the game of “duck duck goat”, and to make quacking noises when appropriate (such as after court, or whenever they feel like it).

They have also claimed the [[dance]] known as [[petit vriens]] due to its colloquial name of the "duck dance", named for it's close resemblance to a line of [[duck]]s.

			The college is closely allied with [[College of Blessed Herman the Cripple]]. After a brief period of war in A.S.56 (see: [[Inter-College War]] XXV), the two colleges signed a peace treaty, and have been friends ever since. In acknowledgement of Blessed Herman proving the superior force in battle, the clause was added that the banners of St Christina cannot be larger than the average size of [[Blessed Herman]] banners. The treaty also protects summoners of [[The Great Duck]] from any Hermanites harbouring anti-duck sentiments. (Which doesn't make sense anyway, I mean, have you seen how cute ducks are?)
