School Closing Early – Hauora/PLD for kaimahi (staff)

Thursday 25 August

As explained in the newsletter, the school will be closing at 12:30 on Thursday. 

Staff rarely has the opportunity to participate in a Professional Development event together, during the school day.  In recognition of the importance of the well-being of kaimahi (staff) at Hinepōhatu, as well as the importance of the mahi, the Board has given their permission for this opportunity. 

We are very grateful, and appreciate that while this will cause some inconvenience for some, you will understand and support this gesture.

School Buses

The 929, 915, and 935 buses will run at the earlier time of 12:30pm

The 6074, 6075, 6069, and 6081 buses will NOT run at all that afternoon

We need to know that each of our tamariki is safe. Can you let us know what arrangements you have for your tamariki. You can either complete the form below or email your tamariki’s classroom teacher to advise them of the way your tamariki will be going home.  If your tamariki cannot be safely supervised out of the kura at this time, we will provide the option for him/her to remain at kura in the Library until 2:55pm.
