Why Green Apple?

The humble apple has long been used to symbolise a gift for teachers. Historically, it is thought to trace back to 18th century Europe, when only the richest families could afford to educate their children. But poorer farming families also saw the value in education, and often paid teachers with produce, to allow their children to attend school.

The green symbolises Navitas. For almost three decades, Navitas has been bringing education opportunities to people all over the world. Those opportunities become knowledge and skills, thanks to the commitment of teaching, learning and academic staff.
