Just passing Junction 27 (Birstall/Ikea) so expecting to be back at school around 0915.

Spread the word please 👍

[OGA @OGAOZ2019]

To all parents, ETA at OGA is looking like 0915 to 0930. This is traffic dependent. At the moment the roads look clear but obviously the M62 could change at any moment. Will message again once closer. Mr E.

The boys have been fantastic this trip from the very first minute to the last. The four staff would like to say how privileged we feel to have been given the opportunity to share this once in a lifetime experience with these outstanding young men. Time to pack and get some sleep.

[OGA @OGAOZ2019]

The boys have surprised Mr Etherington and Mr Johnston with token of their appreciation. Their thank you’s extend to each and everyone of their friends and families that have helped to make this trip of a lifetime possible. Big thank you to Mr Crosby and Miss Brooke as well.

The winner of the 2019 Mr Australia award is........Mr Sam Jewson!!!
