WIN TIMES JULY 2021_14
from the Academic Year 2020-2021 The past one year has been like no other. The challenges have been unprecedented, but so has been the resilience shown by the Winchester community members in overcoming them. It is paths never taken before that lead to the most pronounced growth curves. Kanchan Kumar Palakode of Year 12, the Secondary Head of Wellbeing, lists down the five key takeaways which stood out during Academic Session 2020-2021.
1. Connection The importance of solidarity and connectedness in the school’s community was so much more important and highlighted for this academic year. More opportunities, activities, and events contributed to the sense of community and helped provide a more wholesome and connected atmosphere. I was able to feel all the more connected and all the more together in an online landscape. It was one of the most important and influential aspects of the current academic year in my opinion.
2. Creativity The increased implementation of technological initiatives and activities for the academic session of 2020-21 helped streamline education in many ways. The innovation and creativity that the use of technology inculcates in students is something marvellous and I believe it should be something that should be explored more in-depth to make teaching and learning a more efficient process as a whole.
