​My learning experience during COVID-19: Successes and Challenges​

Online Art Competition​ 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live and has had a significant impact on and how students learn in the new normal. All children are artists (Pablo Picasso) and are naturally drawn to a visual representation of the daily events of their lives. 

We invited children to express themselves visually and show us what their learning experiences (successes/challenges) have been during the COVID-19 pandemic and they did with an overwhelming response.

We extend our​ sincere gratitude to our panel of judges comprising: Ms. Amber Nagori, Ms. Yasmeen Mirza, Ms. Leanne Coelho, Mr. Bradley D’Cruze, Ms. Nehal Yasin and Ms. Romila Kareem for taking the time out to evaluate the entries received, and pick our winners. ​​
