Dear Parents,
As our students begin their summer break, we bring to a close an academic year defined by thoughtful learning and important milestones. We marked the graduation of our IBDP and CBSE Grade 12 students, celebrated the strong performance of our CBSE Grade 10 cohort with a 100% pass percentage and a school average of 83.2%, and witnessed the steady progress of our Grade 1 and Grade 5 learners.
Events such as the Theatre Festival, our first Junior Literary Fest, and the TOK Exhibition reflected the culture of creativity, inquiry, and student agnecy that continues to strengthen across school. I am proud of our learners, our staff, and the community that supports them. I envision the next year as more inclusive and rewarding for our community.
Best Wishes and Warm Regards,
Dipika Rao
Principal, Oakridge International School, Gachibowli
