Lights, Camera, Action!!!

These words conjure up images of a studio and the world of films but the Oakridgers at the Newton campus got a feel of what direction is about in a presentation by the Mr. Kurt Inderbitzen CEO at the Annapurna International School of Film and Media. The presentation was a part of the school’s initiative to a Photography and Film club which was introduced last year.

The Photography and Film club will provide an opportunity for students to learn the nuances of film making and also learn to communicate through visual media in the form of documentaries, posters and much more. Mr. Kurt Inderbitzen spoke to the students on how it is important to say something about the subject they are shooting. He got the students to enact a scene to show how teamwork is important in setting up a scene, fixing the camera, playing the right music that sets the emotional tone of the piece to be shot etc.

The classes for the club will be commencing in July and will run through the year. The students will get to showcase their short films and their photographs at the Preview theatre in Annapurna Studios.

Family Fiesta –Pre primary

The new academic session for Pre Primary started with a big bang in Newton campus!!On 15 June, the Pre-primary family came together and celebrated our most awaited event - Family Fiesta .It was a fun-filled event with various activities and games for all our little ones and their families. To know how much our new parents know about Oakridge, we started with a rapid fire quiz. Most parents came forward with the right answers. This was followed by team building games where parents and children took part with a lot of enthusiasm.

Their excitement level reached new heights when they visited different fun stations like the tattoo stall or the balloon twisting corner and participated in a guessing game where they tried to envision the new school uniform which is yet to be revealed.

It was extremely satisfying to see parents and students make the most of this interactive event which ended with a free dance session in which everyone participated enthusiastically.
