College Spirit and Sport
College Colours are royal blue and white, and the playing uniform for sports is the traditional striped rugby top with the 'Vatican V' logo. The 'hellfish' is a symbol held dear to the hearts of Fishermen and Fisherwomen. Whilst being the smallest of the three residential colleges in Hobart, St John Fisher College's presence can still be felt on the sporting fields. But not really. Fisher's sports teams are disappointing year after year, losing almost every sport they enter. Sports played and lost include Rugby, Australian Rules Football, Soccer, Netball, Softball, Cricket, Tennis, Basketball, Table Tennis, and Volleyball. St John Fisher College claimed the tennis title in 2011, along with the girls netball.
