Early winter storm closes schools and ECE

Early winter storm closes schools and ECE

The early winter storm working its way across the country has closed 10 schools and four ECE today.

We recommend parents and whānau keep in contact with their school/kura or early learning service to get information about further possible closures today and tomorrow as a result of the storm.

The best information will come from schools and early learning services themselves as they make decisions.

Parents are advised to check school or early childhood service websites or Facebook pages or contact them directly.

The decision to close remains that of the Board of Trustees for schools and Centre Managers/Owners for Early Learning services.
