Oak Champs’ Experience @ The Pearl of Indian Ocean

Oak Champs’ tour to Sri Lanka turned to be an enriching experience with full of learning and fun for the younger ones.

Sanjana Goel & Dvij Sharma from Oakridge Vizag and Meghana Maulpuri &Varun Arvapalli from Oakridge Einstein were the Oak Champs who had flown to the exotic land of beaches. And the ‘The Pearl of Indian Ocean’ gave a warm welcome to the Oakridgers.

Oak Champs returned to their homeland with a bunch of sweet memories of a lifetime from this unforgettable journey.

INTRODUCTION OF IPAD IN PRE PRIMARY

The teachers from Pre-primary and high school attended the Apple iPad- workshop in Newton campus which was conducted by Ms. Shefali Javeri from Kennedy International School, Bangalore. It was a very informative session. The teachers were introduced to several application like Qr code scanner, Timer, Simple minds, Teacher tube, Imovie, Hokusai ,digital story, Book creator ,comic life, Itunes Uetc which can be easily downloaded and can be used in classroom setting and in formulating lesson plans.

Initially the teachers were undergoing basic session for over a week by Ms. Richa Sahu who helped us to know everything about the device and its usage .Thanks to the management for not only giving a state-of-the-art tool but also the requisite training in enabling the teachers to make the best use of the same.

SETTING ANOTHER MILESTONE...

Oakridge’s iconic status in the world of education is much credited to its expert teachers and thought leaders who made the foundation for learning formidable and enduring. Capt. Rohit Bajaj, Principal - one such pillar of this ever rising edifice, has made Oakridge and in fact India proud by getting appointed as the IB ambassador. He is among the super five Indians from Asia Pacific who have successfully completed IB orientation and training.

Truly a milestone for Capt. Rohit and Oakridge!

The Indian International MUN Experience

The IIMUN one of the largest youth conferences was held in Hyderabad from 31 May to 2 June at the IIIT campus. 15 students from Oakridge were a part of this conference. Though the delegates for this conference were from different colleges, the students found it to be a very enriching experience for them. Yagna Agarwal of Grade XI who was a part of this conference shares his experience with us……

"With mixed feelings of anxiety and excitement and my hopes high, I was there; at the IIIT campus. The first college MUN I was attending. I was not nervous but I was prepared; to debate as a Delegate of Poland in the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty). It was a 2 day MUN with 4 committee sessions in total. It was fun debating and putting up productive arguments. Also, there was a lot to learn too! Next Morning was the most productive session.

We had come to a resolution and the whole committee was really happy. In NATO for a resolution to pass we need 100% majority, every single country had Veto power. We had successfully managed to pass the resolution with cent-percent majority. Now, came the part which I was most exited for i.e. the ‘Awards’. Although I did not win any Award the Chairperson told me that I had done well and to keep it up! With my bag packed with papers and my mind full of blissful memories I returned home glad for being a part of an enriching experience."
