The imaginative landscape depicted a blend of diverse architectural styles while maintaining a fantastical aura.

Central to their build was a bridge of harmony, uniting both worlds with a mesmerising waterfall and guarded by special protectors to ensure peace, balance and harmony.

One of the group members Nathanael Yap described the Legoland School Challenge as one of the most rewarding experiences of his life.

"I’ve loved Legoland since I was a Sea Life Junior Ranger at the age of 10 and getting to participate in this challenge three years in a row has been incredible.

"It’s not just about building Lego creations—it’s about having fun, meeting new friends and challenging myself.

I’ve gone from following instructions to creating my own designs, which has been awesome," he said.

Yap also expressed how the challenge had shaped his aspirations for the future and made him realise that he wanted to do something creative in the future, even becoming a Legoland Master Model Builder.

"It’s shown me that if you have passion and imagination, you can really do anything," he said during the prize giving ceremony on Tuesday.

The event was officiated by Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

Also present were Education Ministry Deputy Director General Zainal Abas and Legoland Malaysia Resort Divisional Director CS Lim.
