From the Principal's desk

by Bruce Kearney

Dear Parents and Caregivers, It is fantastic to be in Level 1 of our nation’s Covid-19 response. It was a strange few weeks working in Level 2, with the school essentially functioning as normal as possible, with a few exceptions, such as a fairly heavy use of hand sanitiser!

From the Deans

It is hard to believe we are halfway through 2020! It has been an interesting Term 2 for the school with Covid-19 lockdown changing the way our school operates. However, both staff, parents and students adapted extremely well to this new ‘bubble’ environment, considering it was new to us all. Thanks for your patience and support during this time.

L2 OdEd Survival Camp

by Nic Thomas

The thing about Survival Camp is that you have to survive. No matter the weather, no matter the location. This year's L2 OdEd students survived in the Lower Hawdon Valley before our first true Winter storm.
