Dear Parents,

As we reflect on the month of August, I am immensely proud of the remarkable achievements of our students. From taking on leadership roles in the Student Council to excelling in academics, sports, and social impact initiatives, our students have shown an extraordinary commitment to growth and excellence. Their participation in events like the Oakridge MUN, Global University Expo, and various competitions underscores their drive and determination.

Equally inspiring is the sense of community we continue to foster. Our Independence Day celebration, the Rakhi initiative, and the Coffee Morning with parents highlight the values that bind us together. These moments of connection and collaboration enrich our school environment and strengthen our shared commitment to nurturing well-rounded, thoughtful, and compassionate leaders.

Thank you for your continued support in making our school a place where every student thrives.

Ms. Baljeet Oberoi, Principal
Oakridge International School, Bachupally.
