Notes | ||
Outside the entrance to the right, a free-standing sculpture among the shrubbery; on a rectiliner frame, winding round the righthand upright and horizontal bar, a streamer ending in a cross. Iconographical: 'The philosophy behind the piece of sculpture is one of the developing child gaining support and guidance by entwining itself around the established structure of education, which is represented by the three sides of the square firmly implanted into the ground. From the growing plant breaks the first bloom, which rises above the framework and can be accepted as a Christian symbol' (2) | ||
