Student Newsletter Omnis 2/2023

Happy beginning of the winter holidays to everyone! At the beginning of the year, a lot has happened at Omnia. It's already winter vacation time.

Vacation does not mean time off and vacation trips for everyone. Many of you have studies or work based learning next week. Some of you are preparing for the matriculation examination. Many of you are also working during the holiday week. 

Whatever your plan is for the holiday, remember to take care of yourself! Let's enjoy the increasing light and the singing of the birds.

Maija Aaltola, Principal
