As we embrace the arrival of autumn, I am delighted to share with you the extraordinary accomplishments and memorable moments that have illuminated the month of September at our beloved Oakridge Mohali. This month has truly been a celebration of dedication, perseverance, and excellence across various domains. 

Outstanding Achievements in Sports 

Our students have once again showcased their remarkable talents on the sports field, bringing glory to our school and the state of Punjab. From the Punjab Khed Mela to the Punjab State Games and numerous local tournaments, our athletes have consistently demonstrated exceptional skills and sportsmanship. We are immensely proud of our young sports stars, and our Physical Education (PE) team, who have nurtured these talents over time. We look forward to witnessing their continued growth and success in the world of sports. 

Academics Excellence 

In addition to their remarkable sporting achievements, our students have also excelled in their academic pursuits. The recent examinations bore witness to their hard work and commitment to their studies. We commend both our students and teachers for their collaborative efforts, and we remain committed to providing an environment that fosters academic excellence and holistic growth. 

Teachers: The Pillars of Excellence 

Our dedicated team of educators continues to be the driving force behind our school’s success. This month, our IB PYP teachers embarked on IB training programs, further enriching their pedagogical skills and expanding their horizons in international education.

Furthermore, I am pleased to share that many of our teachers have received heartfelt appreciation from our parent community. The flood of personal emails and glowing Google Reviews is a testament to the positive impact our teachers have on the lives of our students. Your words of encouragement and recognition mean a great deal to us, and they serve as a source of inspiration for our educators to continue striving for excellence.
