Kia ora,
Like most of you we have today been closely monitoring the weather forecast of Cyclone Gabrielle. The current forecast is for severe winds and rain over the next 12-24 hours, in particular Tuesday. We are currently at a red alert level for wind and orange level for rain. It is an unpredictable situation that we are facing. Acting out of pure caution and following health and safety policy to keep students, whanau and staff safe and in consultation with our Board of Trustees and other sources of information, the decision to close our school has been made. School will be closed on Tuesday 14th February for all students and staff.
We will continue to communicate through Facebook and our School App as we need to, especially about school on Wednesday 15th February. There will be no online learning/distance learning tomorrow.
Thank you for your support.
