Oakridge's Changemaker: Khashikha Wins National Award for Excellence

From The

Principal's Desk

Dear Parent,

I hope you had a truly vibrant Diwali!

As we wind up the most eventful October, my heart beams with joy! From lively Dussehra celebrations to Diwali sparkles, the campus housed a hub of creativity and festivities this season. Our junior school students from the Early Years and Primary Years took part in the ‘Art Fest’ and had fun with mud and colors while indulging in activities like pottery, block printing, and tie-and-dye. Our CBSE students also basked in the festive spirit by organizing the Diya Painting workshop.

Recognizing the importance of this ‘Season of Giving’, our students engaged in multiple community outreach initiatives. From a clothes donation drive, distributing Diwali gifts to the support staff to conducting an art therapy workshop for government school students, our students did their bid in spreading happiness. This month we also witnessed our students actively getting involved in the MIT-STEAM challenge and several other activities under the Global Campus initiative.

As we venture towards the following month, all our staff members are gearing up and giving our best for the IB evaluation. We also have JMUN coming up and all of us are supremely excited to have talented orators around on campus. Besides this, we look forward to witnessing creativity at its best through the Oakridge Orator event.

As always, I look forward to our budding minds surprising us with their talent. In this regard, we continue to focus on the safety and security of our students and make the school a safe space for all. Hence, I thank you for your continual support. Here is hoping that the onset of winter remains pleasant for you!

Best wishes and Warm Regards,

Ms.Hema Chennupaty, Principal

Oakridge International School, Gachibowli
