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.

It looks like the "kind of motto" is the school motto "nisi dominus frustra"
Michael P. Smuda, 5 November 2002
Which means, "Unless the Lord, in vain", implying the verse from the Psalms, "Unless the Lord is with us, our labour is in vain".
