Spot a tree, bird, animal, flower or object near your school. Choose one as your school symbol. Draw it and write one line on why it can be your school's symbol.
Students should observe their school surroundings and select a meaningful symbol.
For example, if a Banyan tree is spotted near the school, it could be chosen as the school symbol because the Banyan tree represents knowledge, wisdom, and shelter - values that schools aim to provide.
The tree's spreading branches symbolize the growth of students in various directions while staying rooted in values.
A drawing of the tree should be made with a caption explaining its significance as a symbol of learning, protection, and growth.
