Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families and our livelihoods together, we must Invest in Our Planet.

Keeping the theme above in our mind, our IB PYP learners of Nursery to Grade 5 engaged into a compost-making engagement wherein they used the kitchen waste to make compost at school. Also, an interesting Water Hero Campaign has been launched on the Earth Day which our compassionate learners will run throughout the month to become a water hero and will to conserve it.

Senior students also put up a great show on International Mother Earth Day. They showcased Art Installations related to global warming, climate change, water pollution, and land pollution. They also ran an Awareness Drive to promote a sustainable lifestyle where they urged their fellow classmates and teachers to bring consumption changes like using jute bags and avoiding one-time use plastic containers. Under the Share a dream project, students spread awareness and took action on the rightful disposal and recycling of e-waste. Additionally, they also ran a plantation drive under Green Cover Mission which was a huge success.

Principal Ms. Ramanjit Ghuman encouraged the students to become change-makers in the society and to be mindful and conscious while using the resources. She quotes: “We at Oakridge Mohali believe in creating responsible global citizens, who are ready to cater the mankind.”
