University student left shattered by lack of on-campus classes and activities

The mother of a first-year university student says her daughter has been left shattered by news a large chunk of her classes this year will be online, or pre-recorded, after her final two years of high school were plagued by remote learning.
Michelle rang Tom Elliott on Tuesday, venting her frustration.
“It’s really disappointing after two years,” she said.
“We weren’t aware this was the way it was going to be.”
She said all of her daughter’s orientation week activities had been online.
Tom Elliott said it made little sense.
“I would have thought now life is supposedly just about back to normal that universities would be bending over backwards to make university life normal again,” he said.
