| Welcome to the latest London 2012 newsletter This week saw the launch of a new online education resource, 'On Your Marks!', just the first step of a comprehensive 2012 Education Programme.
We've seen exciting developments over the summer, with important progress made for the Olympic Park, which sits at the heart of the 2012 Games.
Our senior management teams are also now in place and planning continues in earnest to make the London 2012 Games the best the world has ever seen.
