Bike Drive by with Ms Kuzic, M McArthur and Miss Elizabeth

What a fun day on the Bike drive by with Owen Staff. If you followed them on route you were able to say hi and exercise with them while keeping a good physical distance to stay safe!

Thank you to everyone who took photos and videos. To see more of that day you can see them here. Please add more if you have!

Owen Drive by - Wednesday May 13th!

We miss our Owen students so much we will be doing another drive by - about 25 cars and some bikes! Join us on route for our Owen Drive by. Look for signs from staff!

We are starting at approx 11:00 am at Tournament Park and heading east. Thanks to Ms McRae we have a detailed map that shows where we will be. We will end up driving by the front of the school so that if your street is not on the route you can come there to wave and say hi!

Remember to keep a physical distance of 2 metres to keep everyone safe and healthy!
