Dear Oakridge Community,
I am thrilled to share with you the exciting range of engagements that have taken place in our school over the past few weeks. From the University Fair to the Oakridge Spirit Week – our school has been buzzing with energy and enthusiasm.
Furthermore, our students have shown a great sense of responsibility towards the environment and have actively participated in various campaigns to raise awareness on Earth Day.
I would also like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the work done by our student-led Journalism Club. Your articles have been informative, engaging, and thought-provoking. You have shown remarkable dedication and passion for journalism, and I applaud your efforts.
As we move forward, I encourage our secondary segment students to be a part of the new school clubs that are being formed. From academic clubs to sports, we have something for everyone! Joining these clubs is a great way to develop new skills, explore your interests, and connect with like-minded peers.
Finally, I want to give a big cheer to our young presenters who perform on stage during our morning assemblies, especially those from the Early Years’ and Primary wing. Your performances have been inspiring, and it is a delight to watch you showcase your talents. Let us continue to strive for excellence and make our school community stronger and better.

Oakridge Spirit Week was a great success, with students celebrating uniqueness and acceptance throughout the week.
The IBDP students took the lead in the secondary segment to organize the entire week, which included a series of engaging activities and events for students and teachers. From themed dress-up days to talent shows, everyone had an opportunity to participate and showcase their individuality.
The week-long celebration brought the Oakridge community closer together and emphasized the importance of accepting and embracing our differences.
The University Fair arranged for Grade 11, 12, and IBDP students and parents was an exciting opportunity for them to learn about different universities and their programs.
The fair featured representatives from various universities who helped the students to explore their interests, learn about new programs, and take the first step towards planning their academic journey. The students and parents were able to ask questions and gather information to help them make informed decisions about their future education.
