Dear Parents
I am absolutely delighted to share this month’s newsletter with you, celebrating the outstanding achievements in the recently published IBDP and Cambridge primary (grade 5) and lower secondary (grade 8) checkpoint examinations. It fills me with immense joy to announce that our IBDP students achieved a remarkable 100% pass rate, with a class average of 32 points, surpassing the world average of 30.24. These incredible results are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, and parents, and I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all.
July at Oakridge is abuzz with accomplishments and accolades. We recently held our Annual Prize Day, where we honored and recognized the achievers of academic excellence. Additionally, our talented students participated in inter-house Visual Arts and performing arts competitions, showcasing their remarkable artistic prowess. We take immense pride in celebrating our young talents’ achievements in the NAE Global Campus Dance Unite competition, and our graceful dancers’ triumph at the 34th All India Dance Festival.
I also want to express my gratitude to all the parents who graced our Early Years Coffee Evening events in the past weeks. Your presence and active participation were truly appreciated, and your valuable suggestions and feedback will help us in continuing to provide the best possible experience for our children.
As we reach the end of July, I invite all parents to take a moment to peruse this month’s newsletter. It highlights the remarkable events, achievements, and activities that our students have accomplished throughout July. Your ongoing support is invaluable, and we look forward to celebrating more successes together.
