MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

This year has been one with a difference and will be memorable for so many reasons, but especially for the way in which our whole school communit y came together like never before, online. Challenges were tack led creatively and quick ly became oppor tunities. We saw the launch of the Vir tual Choir and the Vir tual Olympics among many other initiatives.

Both before and during our online learning period, the year was as jam-packed as any other with a host of oppor tunities, competitions, events, achievements, and celebrations. We hope that this keepsake captures the memorable moments of 2019- 20 for you to enjoy looking back on.

‘ The Book ’ has been a huge amount of fun to put together and, being a par t of the team behind it, capturing photos and footage of key events, is a real eye - opener as to just how much goes on both within and beyond the classroom. I understand why people so of ten say ‘ busy at Barsha’!

I would like to thank the dedicated team behind ‘ The Book ’ for their commitment throughout the year and without whom, we could not have captured such a wide variet y of content. They are Caroline Vermaat, Jayne Osta, Alexandra June M itchell Shelton, Johshveer Chadha, Sanaz R ahbari, Isabelle R alph, and Niyanta Patel.
