Hello Oppidans!

Well this term we have decided to give you all the helpful hints that you need to make this term a success. From exams to the latest news and fashion to food, this is your one stop site to finding out the latest and the greatest news.

After setting up the new site we have completely revolutionised how we deliver news to you. The Oppidan Press website is fresh and funky and the best way to get news while you surf the net and update your facebook status: Lisa is ‘catching up with the Oppidan Press website’.

This may be our last update of the website till after exams but please keep visiting and commenting on our stories!

We are also currently on the prowl for free lance writers and photographers so if you are interested in contributing next year email us with a short break down on what you would like to cover.

Keep chillin’ and best of luck with exams kids!
