Outreach Update

Published in the RSAA Lunations
Vol1 Issue19 1–31 August 2021

Like many other things, COVID has greatly impacted our outreach program.  Border closures have meant both schools and private groups have been unable to travel to Canberra.  July saw about 30 private nights and 30 school groups cancelled due to COVID, with most of the private night groups coming from Sydney, Brisbane, or Melbourne.

NSW Education is not allowing any schools from across NSW to travel or go on excursions (even those not near Sydney) which means August is also suffering. However, we still have some groups coming through, and like all of us, we are looking forward to making it through COVID.
