OneSchool Global has won Virtual Event of the Year for Perfect Pitch, recognised by Ragan Communications in its global Video, Visual and Virtual Awards
program. The award places OSG among the world’s leading examples of high‑impact virtual engagement, judged against top communications and PR work worldwide.
Our Perfect Pitch initiative brought final‑year students together from across our global school. They built ideas, tested them with peers and experts, and pitched them on a live virtual stage. The inaugural 2025 live global showcase event united more than 5,000 viewers across 120 campuses and 10 time zones. Students delivered polished videos, handled live Q&A, and received real‑time feedback from a global judging panel.
Judges highlighted the program’s real‑world learning value, cross‑campus collaboration, and strong engagement. Their feedback confirms the strength of our model for developing life-ready students who can think clearly, work in teams, and present ideas under pressure.
Matthew Phillips, OSG’s Global Head of Education, said:
“With 120+ campuses across 20 countries, OneSchool Global champions future‑focused education. Perfect Pitch extends our commitment to student agency through real‑world experience and global collaboration. Our students were exceptional, and the live finale ran flawlessly across ten time zones, making it a standout showcase.”
Technical excellence was central to the success of the live finale event. Multi‑stream switching, backstage channels, precise timing and high‑quality production shaped a clean TV‑grade broadcast.
Duncan Lugstein, Managing Director at Corporate Technology Services, said: “We worked closely with the OneSchool Global Communications, IT and Education teams to deliver a seamless, high‑quality experience. It was a true showcase not only of technical innovation, but of the incredible talent and collaboration fostered by OneSchool Global.”
The recognition also reflects the scale of work behind the scenes. Whilst cultivating in a global live stream, there were hours of work from our passionate Education team in bringing together the students over many months – from managing heats rounds, mentoring students and supporting them in the live finale.
The result was clear: high student participation, high family engagement and strong post‑event reach across our channels.
Perfect Pitch has grown from what was a regional idea in North America, to a global platform for student innovation. The award validates that growth and shows how our students can stand confidently on a world stage as life-ready learners.

The wheel, the lightbulb, telephones, airplanes and yes, even the internet all have something in common. At one point they were an idea until, Eureka! they became a reality. During a recent Pathway Project across North America, OneSchool Global Primary students learned all about inspiring inventors and the fortitude needed to transform an idea into a reality.

Nicole Chevrier didn’t expect a career move to reshape her entire approach to teaching - but that’s exactly what happened. In 2022, as she prepared to relocate across provinces in Canada, she began exploring new teaching opportunities. What she found wasn’t just a job, but a school community that aligned with the kind of educator she wanted to be.
