At a period during the 12th-13th century, when the northern S.M.L. Guilfoyle, FCIS, FCPA
counties of England were ruled by the Scots, a knight of A. Polis, BA, DipEd(Melb)
France came to the aid of Queen Margaret of Scotland. She M.A. Puglisi, LLB(Melb), Barrister and Solicitor(Vic) Supreme
rewarded him with a grant of land in what is now Northumber- murt

Swinburne holds a unique place among educational
institutions in Australia in the link that persists between it and
the founder and his family. The conferring of a modification
of the family's coat of arms preserves and strengthens that
link.
The arms: the basic colours of red and whle, and the cinque
foils charged on the shield, commemorate the arms of the
Swinburne family. The omission of the third cinquefoil which
appears in the family coat and the addition of the Bordure
and the Mullets (Stars) are what are known heraldically as
'differences', which may often serve to indicate an association
with another armigerous body or family. The four Mullets in
Cross symbolise the Southern Cross.
The crest: the demi-Boar and the cinquefoil perpetuate the
Swinburne connection; the book is symbolic of learning.
The motto: the College of Arms' translation of the motto is:
Achievement through learning.
