In today’s fast-paced life, between office deadlines and household chores, we often forget that while we’re earning for our kids, their emotional needs can silently take a backseat.

January was not only about student learning—it was also a month of professional growth for our teachers. Despite the extreme winter conditions, our faculty embraced online training sessions with enthusiasm and dedication.

Highlights include:

  • NAE University Courses: Our teachers successfully completed advanced modules that strengthen pedagogy and classroom engagement.
  • Communications & IT Training: These sessions have enhanced seamless communication and introduced cutting-edge IT updates for better digital learning experiences.
  • DSL Sessions Online: Focused on leadership and innovation in education.
  • IB Exchange Program Webinar: Teachers registered for this global initiative to foster agency and inquiry-based learning.
  • PD Sessions by Ms. Supriya Nogal: Our student counsellor led impactful sessions on emotional well-being and student support strategies.
  • Unlocking IBDP: Specialised training for our DP faculty to deepen their understanding of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

These efforts ensure that Oakridge educators remain at the forefront of global best practices, ready to inspire and guide every learner.

On 26th January, our school came together to celebrate the spirit of our nation. The day began with a proud flag hoisting ceremony led by our esteemed Principal, Ms. Suman Kalra, accompanied by our dedicated staff and teachers. The tricolour fluttered high as the entire Oakridge community stood in unity, singing the national anthem with pride and reverence. The ceremony was followed by cultural performances and activities that instilled values of patriotism, respect, and responsibility among our learners.

The harsh winter and government directives could not dampen our spirit of learning. We swiftly transitioned to online classes, ensuring that education remained uninterrupted.

Our streamlined approach included:

  • Adapting the offline timetable to online mode for continuity.
  • Incorporating regular breaks and interactive Q&A sessions to keep students engaged.
  • Maintaining the same rigour and quality that defines Oakridge learning.

This seamless shift is a testament to the resilience of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the unwavering support of our parents.
