Hi everyone!

It's great to see hundreds of OCA students visit and use the site. We've seen student groups being created and loads of you signing up for events!

To join in with these activities you need to be a site member, but please remember that we can only accept signups with your OCA student email. That way we can ensure that only OCA students have access to OCASA Events and Groups. Thank you!

Dan Woodward - Lead Rep

June 2021

My role involves helping to coordinate an annual yearbook to celebrate the achievements of OCA students.

This is a new project which we will definitely need some help getting off the ground, so if you have any ideas or would just like to get involved, do let us know!

We’ll post updates regularly on this website, and you can also follow us on social media (the links are at the top and bottom of the page).
