The larger, connected circles represent education centres across our lands - interwoven places of learning, growth and community. Within the layers are symbols of gum leaves, grounding us in our connection to Country, where we come together to learn, explore and play. Another significant layer is shown as a ring of people symbols, representing the collective strength of our education system. No circle stands alone. We grow, thrive and learn together, held by culture and community.

This piece celebrates the strength of community, culture and Country in shaping every learning experience. At the heart of this artwork is a central meeting place to represent the community of the education space itself, a place where learning begins and connections are nurtured. Surrounding it are symbols of people, with educators forming a protective circle around children, symbolising the safe, supportive environment where learning can thrive.
