Oakridge International School, celebrated D.E.A.R Day (Drop Everything and Read Day) in conjunction with ONE NATION READING TOGETHER. The entire staff and students of the school read for 10 minutes during the morning assembly after taking a beautiful oath delivered by Geetha Krishnan, our Headmistress. There was pin drop silence as we were lost in a world where books and only books held sway. There is a saying, "Read to Lead and thus Succeed”. We want the seed of knowledge to grow in every child. To excel and exceed we all must read.
Our school wishes to inculcate good reading habit in every child and also continue its efforts to do its bit for the community by participating in the One Nation Reading Together, a Scholastic Programme. Hundred books will be donated to charity by Scholastic on behalf of Oakridge.

Dear Parents

Greetings from Oakridge International School!

It has always been our endeavour to equip our students with competencies, commitment and compassion as good practices that will hold them in good stead in their dealings with life. We also realize the importance of good health and fitness in a child’s life.

In our efforts to bring good health to our students we have initiated ‘OakFit’ – a means of keeping fit. Taking advantage of the ambience and convenience provided by the city, our students with their family and friends will henceforth gather at Kali Temple and proceed towards Park hotel on Sundays. They may cycle, walk, run or jog down to the finishing point.

We will be honoured by your presence at the run to encourage the ‘OakFit’ team and run with them. Please extend our invitation to your family and friends as well.

Start at: Kali Temple, 6.30 am

Finish: The Park, 7.30 am

You have been very gracious in the past and have motivated the school and its students and we look forward to your presence and continued support on this occasion.

Yours sincerely

Geetha Krishnan

Headmistress
