A roundabout is a traffic circle. In my opinion, a circle represents infinity as there are endless points to a circle. In the image, a roundabout can be seen in the foreground.
The alumni has forked out money out of their own pockets to sponsor the construction of the school arch, for our school. 这证明了我们的校友们表现了他们在立化培养的精神—感恩立德。Thus, I feel that the school arch represents the gratitude felt by the alumni towards our school for the education provided. This arch can be seen in the background of the image.
Since the roundabout, which exhibits infinity, and the school arch, which symbolizes our studies in River Valley High School, are pictured in the image shown, what I find extraordinary about this picture is that it reflects endless education, which displays our school spirit of lifelong learning (好学不倦).
I think that it is important to learn as we live (活到老，学到老), because as we gain more knowledge, we can learn from past mistakes, be it experienced by others or ourselves, and not let history repeat itself. From our past experiences, we are able to reflect on ourselves and our actions, learning from them to become better people, and be able to show appreciation towards the education provided by the government by contributing back to the society.
Thus, I feel that the hidden meaning of 好学不倦 in this ordinary picture shows the extra in the ordinary (平凡中的不平凡).
