The flag of the institute, according to a photo taken during the "Juegos
Institucionales" 2007, is horizontally divided
white-yellow- green with the emblem of the institution in the
middle.
The emblem
of the institute is charged with a red shield bearing a golden
lamp, the symbol of knowledge in the Christian tradition,
surmonted by a cross.

"Colegio Hermanas Misioneras de la Consolata" was
founded on 6 February 1950 in Bogotá by the Consolata
Missionaries.
The Institute of Consolata Missionaries was founded on 29 January
1901 in Turin (Italy) by Blessed Giuseppe Allamano (1851-1926),
who subsequently founded the Congregation of the Consolata
Missionaries in 1910. The congregation settled in
Colombia in 1950. See: <www.ismico.org>.
The flag of the institute, according to photos and the
description available on the institute website,
is horizontally divided blue-white.
Blue is an invitation to transcendence, symbolizing the greatness
and kindness of the blessed Virgin.
White represents the immaculated purity of the Blessed Virgin.
On photos
taken during the Colours ceremony, the flag appears with a very
pale blue shade, similar to the colour of the students' dress and
much lighter than the blue shade of the nearby Colombian national
flag.
