Most giraffes are born in Africa, but Harold is an exception, as he was born in Sydney, Australia. He is a unique giraffe. Harold is the Health & Wellness Ambassador of LEAP, assisting educators in delivering messages about physical and mental health and promoting positive values to students and friends.

* Harold is our mascot as we want students to look up rather than down at their shoelaces. Giraffes are unique just like us!
* Their spot pattern is a bit like our fingerprint pattern – no two are the same.
* Giraffes are tall – and we want students to stand tall and be proud.
* They are big hearted creatures, with their heart being about the same size as a basketball.
* Long necks – we need to stick our necks out and support one another.

Students love Harold's storytelling and singing. They write to Harold to tell him what happens at school or even choose to share their joys and problems with him, often asking him for advice on leading a healthier lifestyle. Harold builds a bond with the students by replying to their mail or email.
