Student - Class X
Oakridge school has given me a lot of chances to be more than just an ordinary student and to think outside the box. The school has also encouraged me to participate in a lot of competitions both in academics and sports. Oakridge has organised many field trips which enhances my knowledge. After all education is not only about going to school and getting marks, it’s about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.
