All Hands Meet

Someone once said teamwork doesn’t tolerate the inconvenience of distance. Keeping in mind the same, our school believes in fueling oneness, interdependence & strength to be derived through unity. Oakridge Newton campus as an organization, believes in creating a structure for success which is very much evident through the All Hands Meet conducted at the end of every month; this month’s being on 31^st August 2013.

Organized and compiled by Ms. Vasundhara’s & Ms. Rajani’s team it was amazing to see how much you can accomplish when the ratio of We’s to I’s is far greater.The two teams worked for hours in collaboration to create the production that followed.

Graced by the eminent leaders of our campus, the event began with a twist which reinforced the idea - networking is a valuable skill in the 21st Century workplace, and it is by interacting with co-workers from other departments, who perhaps you do not see very often in a professional context, that you can learn, raise your understanding and profile with a view to internal benefits.

What followed was inspiring and heartfelt, that resonated through the words of a beaming principal, acknowledging and applauding his team who had converged on this day to celebrate the treasure within themselves & each other; it was infectious.Commencement of a musical parody left its audience imploring for more. Reinforcing a feeling of oneness, pride & bolstering team spirit was a PPT displaying a heart warming presentation starting with the sturdy building blocks of the school - our teachers followed by the current events that spelled s-u-c-c-e-s-s.

The basis of a good team building is for its leaders to promote the feeling that every individual is unique and adds value and so recognition, appreciation is an important step in fostering the same - this being one of the key principles of our campus. So ensued the felicitation ceremony that included several awards for excellence & outstanding contribution to the school. Games got the crowd scampering for answers and provided a hilarious side to the festivity. Dress coded in blue, yet nowhere near to its figurative part - feeling blue, the event raged on. We even had a surprise award for the table that looked best adorned in blue.   Birthday celebrations for the month wrapped it up with a balloon bursting, cheerful singing and gleeful laughs that echoed around the hall.

This write up cannot end without acknowledging the fact that ‘All Hands Meet’ provided a platform to build friendships and positive professional relationships which is its quintessence; bestowing our team with the ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives.
