I.E. Fonquetá is located in Chía (department of Cundinamarca).
The
flag of I.E. Fonquetá is horizontally divided blue-white-green with the
municipal coat of arms in the center.
The coat of arms of I.E. Fonquetá,
designed by Eusebio Herrea, is based on a heraldic structure and sketch design,
which was extracted from a pectoral of the Muisca culture featuring a man in
flight position. The upper internal part features the Valvanera church, the
mountains and the moon, characteristic of Chía. The owl means wisdom, the figure
of goddess Chía, a character who identifies the history, culture and origin of
our environment. In the lower part, the petroglyphs, engravings and pictographs
used by the ancestors to communicate and leave the trace of their culture are
described in the form of a snail.
The colors are gold or yellow, which
means the wealth and potential of the Muisca civilization in gold, the joy and
happiness in our students; blue, which means the sky and water and also
represents the loyalty, trust and intelligence of our students; the green, which
means the plant resources of the fields, fertility and freshness; and white,
which means the purity, faith and innocence of the beings that from their
ancestors reflected their ways of life.
The words that accompany the
shield describe the basic skills of education for the active and inclusive
personal development of the Fonquetá community: to be (values), to do (skills),
to know (knowledge) and to live together (harmony in the Fonquetá community).
