The first One School Network meeting took place at Shirley Boys' High School on Wednesday 8 March, from 4:30pm to 6:00pm.

The OSN is an initiative that aims to "break down barriers". This could mean communication barriers between schools, schools and the community or youth and the rest of the community. It also provides a fantastic platform for young and like-minded leaders to meet, network and hopefully collaborate to bring about positive change throughout Christchurch. We had around 60 students who attended the first meeting from 18 different schools.
