Harlaxton State School
Education Through Imagination
Like this beautiful tree, Harlaxton State School students are always growing in many different ways. They challenged themselves to think outside the box with this project, using their imaginations in design, planning and construction.
The prep and Year 1 students are represented by the stories being told around the base of the tree. The fairy garden and teddy bear picnic show the excitement and exploration of these foundational years of education around them, whilst also looking above in wonder at the leafy canopy revealing the potential of where their imagination can take them.
Climbing further up the tree, the imagination of years 2, 3 and 4 comes to life, continuing the adventure of education with the building of treehouses and branch swings. This shows how the students learn to grow their imagination in fun and practical ways.
As each branch takes the students higher in years 5 and 6, we find the busy network of animal characters that help them on their journey higher. Our Harlaxton teachers, aides, office staff and cleaners are all depicted in the tree encouraging and supporting our students as they continue to learn, grow, dream and blossom into beautiful colourful flowers.
A rainbow of fruit to boost the energy of imagination is always available. The health of our relationships is also important, respecting one another and building resilience to realise all the possibilities of reaching the top. This encompasses our Harlaxton “whole child” focus.
