Update from Principal Desk – January 2026

  • 7 January 2026

Dear Parents,

Wishing the entire Oakridge community a Happy New Year! As the winter chill wraps Mohali in its icy embrace, the spirit of learning at Oakridge remains as warm and vibrant as ever. January is a month of fresh beginnings, renewed focus, and celebrations that bring our community closer together.

Despite the freezing cold, Oakridge never gives up. Until further government directives, our dynamic online classrooms will continue to keep your child’s learning engaging and uninterrupted. Thank you for standing by us and making this possible.

Welcoming You to a Revamped Reception

We are thrilled to share that our school reception has been completely revamped with modern, well-equipped infrastructure. This inviting space is ready to welcome our young learners and their families. We encourage you to approach and explore this newly designed area—it reflects our commitment to creating an environment that inspires positivity and connection.

This year’s fresh start began on a beautiful note with an official inaugural ceremony at the reception, marked by Sukhmani Sahib Path and holy rituals. These traditions brought blessings and harmony, setting the tone for a year filled with positivity and growth.

Learning That Inspires

Our youngest learners in Early Years and Primary Years are starting the year with curiosity and confidence. Assemblies led by our little stars, interactive activities, and inquiry-based learning will keep them exploring and thinking beyond the classroom. These experiences help children grow into independent thinkers and communicators.

Academic Focus for Senior Students

For our senior cohorts, this is a crucial time of preparation. Pre-board assessments and academic milestones are underway, and we are proud of the resilience and dedication our students continue to show. Every effort now brings them closer to their goals.

Celebrations and Events That Matter

January is not just about academics—it’s about culture, leadership, and community spirit. Here’s what makes this month special:

  • Republic Day – A proud moment as we honour our nation with a flag hoisting ceremony and activities that instil respect and patriotism.
  • Martin Luther King Jr. Day – A special student-led assembly to celebrate his legacy of equality and justice.
  • Progress Parade for Grade 4 – Showcasing achievements and growth in a spirit of pride and confidence.
  • Intra-Class General Awareness Quiz – Encouraging curiosity and critical thinking among Grades 1 to 5.
  • Inter-School Youth Parliament – Empowering leadership and global citizenship for Grades 4 and 5.

Each event reflects our commitment to holistic education—where learning goes beyond textbooks and builds character, creativity, and confidence.
