Dear Parents,
As we continue our journey through the academic year, it gives me immense pleasure to reflect on the month of July which has been notably eventful with regards to enhancing the student skill sets and preparing them for life beyond school.
I take immense pride in sharing that two of our students Arnav and Ridhi represented our School at NAE-UNICEF Summit at the UNICEF Headquarters, New York. Meanwhile Adventure Leadership Camp focused on fostering leadership qualities among our senior Oakridgers. Also, with the vision of nurturing entrepreneurial spirits among our students, we hosted an enriching Global Entrepreneurship Programme. The experiences gained by our students during these programmes will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping their personal and academic growth.
This edition of the newsletter captures a comprehensive display of these events and more. I trust you will find it engaging and enjoyable to peruse.
Warm Regards
Ms.Dipika Rao Principal
Oakridge International School, Gachibowli

Our UNICEF student ambassadors, Arnav of DP2 and Ridhi of DP1 represented Oakridge Gachibowli at the NAE-UNICEF Student Summit 2023. This exclusive opportunity was for Nord Anglia Education students and it empowered them to make a difference locally and globally.
The summit culminated in an impressive manner with the outstanding presentations delivered by Nord Anglia Education student groups on their SDG projects. It was truly heartening to witness Ridhi and Arnav confidently taking up and deliver the role. The event concluded with Mr. Andrew Fitzmaurice, CEO-Nord Anglia Education, thanking everyone who contributed to the success of the conference.
