“Leadership
is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions”…this probably
reflects the essence of leadership. It is now recognized as a discipline that
needs to be taught. In today’s world of globalization, the concept of leadership
is inclusive of a host of life skills to equip the younger generation to the
challenges of a modern society.
A new
initiative in this direction by the school is the Oakridge Leadership Program
that has been initiated to train students in leadership skills and enlighten
them to move from thought to action, from success to significance.
A
presentation on the program was held in the campus on 29 January by Mr. Amir
Bhatia Founder & CEO Aspire Group who spoke to students on the importance
of learning leadership in ways that they have never learned before. Mr. Bhatia
spoke about the Leadership camp which will be scheduled at Rishikesh and said
the idea was to bring the children out of their comfort zone and expose them to
a fun learning experience that will cover adventure sports, community visits,
communication and soft skills and leadership case studies to name a few.
Speaking on
the occasion the Principal Capt. RohitSen Bajaj called upon the students to
feel motivated and inspired to take on the program. Capt. Bajajalso added that
the students will get an opportunity to hear and interact with people whoare
influential in their intellect.
This experiential
learning experience I am sure will go a long way in building confident
individuals and sensitize them to the issues around them so that they take
action in the right direction to make a DIFFERENCE not only to their
personalities but the society at large.
