January 2024 - Oakridge

From The

Principal's Desk

Dear Parents,

Greetings from Oakridge International School, Visakhapatnam!

We are happy to bring you another edition of the newsletter for the very exciting and happening month of January. From Sankranti Celebrations to Republic Day Celebrations, it has been a festive month at Oakridge.

Our early years are all gearing up with their preparations for displaying innovative projects for Student Led Conference (SLC) and demonstrate the concepts flawlessly. I am all eager to witness our students’ becoming teachers for the day and explaining the concepts learnt at school.

This month has also been about achievements and pride. Few of our Grade XII and IBDP 2 students have received amazing university placements amongst the world top universities. Not just acing the world top universities few of our students have also got offers from SP JAIN SCHOOL OF GLOBAL MANAGEMENT which is one of the top management institutes in India.

I invite you to explore the January edition of our newsletter to delve deeper into the remarkable events and initiatives that have enriched our school community.

Warm regards,

Ms.Shaila Bhamidipati
