This month, our educators have put together the activities of children in their classroom. You’ll also get a glimpse into what’s happening in library hours and the MYP recognition ceremony. See highlights from August 2025 in the link below and let us know your feedback.
As part of our ongoing efforts to create a safe, informed, and supportive learning environment, we held sexual literacy and safety sessions for our MYP to DP students, parents,and teachers. The sessions were conducted by UnTaboo, an organization that specializes in empowering young people with age-appropriate, fact-based, and sensitive guidance on these important topics.
The sessions covered aspects of anatomy, pubertal changes, emotional and behavioral changes, safety, healthy boundaries, consent, and the importance of open and respectful communication.
“It was very well conducted and quite an eye opener for us parents in so many ways. Our kids are fortunate to have an open and communicative environment in which to vocalize themselves and understand sex education better. We also learned about the parents’ role in giving children their safe place to express themselves,” said a parent after attending the sessions.
Oakridge’s Independence Day celebration perfectly balanced student voices with community action. Students delivered powerful TED Talks on India’s northeastern treasures, cultural heritage, Ganga conservation, and forgotten women heroes, while EYP & PYP held special assemblies and freedom parades with students dressed as national leaders alongside patriotic performances.
Beyond celebrations, our community demonstrated true patriotism through action. Students, parents, and teachers united for a tree plantation drive, embodying Principal Kavita Sukhani’s reminder that “freedom lasts only when we take responsibility.” Our learners proved they’re ready to build a greener, stronger India.
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) Grades 4 & 5 recently held student council elections as part of its commitment to nurturing democratic principles and civic responsibility in young learners. Learners engaged in the electoral process by nominating candidates, participating in campaigns, and casting their votes for peer representatives.
Candidates presented their platforms to fellow students, promoting skills in public speaking, critical thinking, and respectful debate. This initiative reinforces the IB PYP’s dedication to creating informed, responsible global citizens who understand and value democratic participation from an early age.
The Secondary School Council elections will happen on 1st September. The newly elected student council members will serve as representatives for their peers, fostering a school environment where student voices contribute meaningfully to their educational community.
