Hasta La Vista: A grand farewell to the class of 2026

Goodbyes are not forever; they are milestones. Apeejay School, Kharghar, bid an emotional yet vibrant farewell to its outgoing Class XII students through a beautifully curated ceremony titled Hasta La Vista. The event marked the culmination of an enriching academic journey, celebrating years of learning, friendships, growth, and unforgettable memories. 

Meticulously organised by the students of Class XI under the thoughtful guidance of their teachers, the farewell reflected warmth, gratitude, and admiration for the graduating batch. The venue was tastefully decorated, radiating elegance and festivity. As the seniors entered, they were welcomed with badges and sash titles, a gesture that made them feel honoured and deeply appreciated.

The programme commenced with a gracious welcome address, followed by confident and engaging compering that set an enthusiastic tone for the afternoon. A series of lively and well-choreographed dance performances added charm and vibrancy to the celebration, each performance expressing affection and respect for the seniors.

One of the most anticipated highlights of the day was the Fashion Show. The outgoing students walked the ramp with remarkable poise, grace, and confidence, reflecting their evolving personalities and self-assurance. The coveted title of Ms Apeejay was proudly awarded to  Deepali Chouhan, while Master Apeejay was conferred upon Varad Avadhoot, acknowledging their charisma, confidence, and overall presence.

A thoughtfully curated PowerPoint presentation showcasing glimpses of their school journey stirred waves of nostalgia. Photographs of classroom moments, competitions, excursions, and shared laughter brought smiles, applause, and even a few emotional reflections among students and teachers alike.

The school Principal, Dr Sonali Balwatkar, extended her heartfelt blessings and inspiring message, reminding students that the values, discipline, and ethos instilled at the institution would always serve as their guiding light. Followed by The Vice-principal, Ms Shara Sharma, who addressed the gathering with motivating words, encouraging the students to remain resilient, focused, and courageous as they step into a new chapter of life.
