Storm Damage

We have certainly had our fair share of wild weather in Oamaru and the saturated ground relented late yesterday afternoon when the first of a number of trees on the council property adjoining the College library toppled in the stormy winds.  Areas of the hostel were evacuated overnight as a precautionary measure and the Waitaki District Council have been on site with Mr Olsen and Mr Grant this morning in order to assess the damage and make safe the hillside area.  As well as clearing fallen trees, a number of trees at risk of damage are now tagged for felling.  The large trees lining the College driveway are also being assessed as a precaution.  Our sincere thanks to Council staff for responding so quickly in order to ensure the safety of students and staff and proactively prevent damage to our beautiful College grounds.
