Each One Teach One

At Oakridge International School Bachupally, we believe in fostering a supportive community that lifts everyone up. Our “Each One, Teach One” initiative embodies this spirit, empowering our learners to become changemakers.
 
This year, our Early Years students and Grade 1 learners teamed up with our amazing support staff, whom we fondly call “Aunties,” not “Ayamma’s”
Through this heartwarming collaboration, our young learners shared valuable language and life skills, building confidence in our Aunties as they navigate the world.
 
This initiative beautifully showcases the power of “Each One, Teach One,” where everyone has something valuable to contribute. We’re proud of our young learners for taking ownership and laying the foundation for a brighter future!

Autism Aura

Our students actively participated in Marham’s Autism Aura event on March 16th. They volunteered at stalls showcasing art by autistic children, even performing alongside them.

Thanks to our supportive parents and a generous contribution from the school management, we’re proud to be part of Hyderabad’s first autism forum, “Spectrum Sparkle.”

Together, we’re promoting inclusivity and awareness!
