STRATEGIC PLAN 2019–2026

The School’s Strategic Plan (SSP) for 2019–2026 is a continuation and refinement of the work carried out by the previous Board and working groups. The aim of presenting the SSP in this clear and straightforward framework is to ensure that the six key work areas, along with their objectives and indicators, can be viewed together in a systematic manner.

This structure provides a clear understanding of the linkages within each work area as well as across different work areas. It also highlights that all work areas carry equal importance and require focused attention from the Academic Board and the Leadership Team to support the continuous development of the school during the strategic planning period.

“Governance” has been added as a separate and important work area. This is an essential aspect of strategic planning, as it ensures accountability, transparency in decision-making, and effective implementation of policies and actions by those responsible for managing the school.

Our strategic planning process includes clear objectives and measurable indicators through which the governing body can be held accountable to the Society for the successful progress and development of the school.

OUR COMMUNITY:

The Olive School in special in every way:

It is not only our high standards of academics, diverse curriculum, and inclusive approach that make us special, but also our people. The strong bond between our teachers, students, and parents defines the school in many ways and strengthens the warm and welcoming nature of our community.

Students ranging from Kindergarten to higher grades bring the school to life. Our dedicated and talented staff know each student personally and follow their achievements and progress with genuine care and interest. As a future initiative, the school will also have an active and participative parent body called the Parent School Organization (PSO), which will play an important role in organizing various events and activities.

As a school with an Indian soul, we aspire to bring together Indian families and create a unique learning environment. We aim to build a community like no other and warmly welcome you to join our special family.

From the Principal’s Desk:

Welcome to Olive Public School, and thank you for visiting our school online. I am delighted that you have found your way to this page, and I hope that as you explore, you will develop a sense of the dynamic, creative, and caring environment that Olive Public School (OPS) offers. We also hope you will visit us in person soon.

Ours is a spirited, happy, and hard-working learning community where experiential and disciplined inquiry forms an integral part of every student’s experience. OPS is committed to a strong academic program that engages students cognitively, physically, and creatively in meaningful learning experiences, while also nurturing their emotional growth. Students learn about themselves, discover their individual learning styles, and develop the ability to relate positively to others.

Our students are empowered to make choices, work hard to overcome challenges, and engage deeply and meaningfully in a curriculum-centred learning environment.

Our mission is founded on the belief that mutual respect should guide all relationships and that students are empowered when they make decisions and exercise developmentally appropriate levels of responsibility for their own learning and self-direction.

At OPS, students grow into confident and compassionate individuals with the ability to advocate and lead. Such skills emerge through critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multi-age environment.

At OPS, we not only prepare students with knowledge and skills but also encourage them to become responsible stewards of the world who can lead happy and fulfilling lives. Our students learn to understand the complexity of the modern world, where interdependence requires sensitivity toward different cultures and perspectives.

Our strong school-home partnership helps children develop a clear understanding of themselves as learners. This partnership also instils in students a sense of responsibility toward themselves and their community. Our aim is that students leaving Olive Public School recognize and value both the common bonds that connect us and the diversity that enriches our larger world.

Student learning takes place throughout the campus and extends into the wider community and the world beyond. We foster a commitment to service through projects conducted on campus as well as through partnerships with local and global organizations. We expect our students to develop advocacy skills that contribute toward building a more peaceful world while respecting diversity and the environment.

Please take time to explore our mission and philosophy, and most importantly, come and spend time with us.
