Page 16 - Batari School Digital Yearbook 2021

Dear Students,

Welcome to our 2021

Online Yearbook.

This Yearbook is a snapshot of the highlights and memorable

events of the year, and a record of the students and teachers who

contributed for the whole year. I hope it will remind you of good

times with friends, the new people you met, our diverse cultures,

sports, cultural, performing arts events, your year of learning

and striving to be better in all that you do.

The year 2021 marks one year since the pandemic of Covid 19

started. This is a significant milestone. What should have been a

year of celebration, and a special final year for students, was

overshadowed by coronavirus. I am proud of what each of us did

in response to the pandemic and what we achieved together,

New Experiences of Learning both for teacher and student. Well

done to you for coming through the year so well, in the face of so

much uncertainty.

For me, this year is summed up by these two images; What

draws us together with others is what matters in life, and How

adaptable we can be when faced with challenges and barriers!

Since last year, we learned what it is to be locked down, locked

out, bubbled, hand sanitised, isolated, socially distanced,

masked, traced, and tested. We found ways to unite and work

together. With technology and creativity, we were able to

maintain our sense of community. Students found ways to

connect, have fun, be supportive, while continuing to access

education. How we respond to life’s challenges, makes us

stronger and builds our confidence.

Despite everything, 2021 has been a successful year.

I hope you feel you have been guided through the journey of

online learning with your teachers. To you all I extend my very

best wishes for the future.

Thank you for all your hard work throughout the school year.

I am honoured to be a Principal.

Best Regards,

Ms Komalasari
