A huge "thank you" to all those whanau who visited their local kindergarten last weekend. We hope the experience was a great one. For some, a new experience, but for many, a trip down memory lane.
For all the past pupils that visited, I know your teachers were so pleased and proud of the amazing people you all are.

Thank you all for understanding about today. We have had a few trees needing sorting and roofing issues to deal with along with cleaning up of branches etc today.
But WE ARE ALL OPEN TOMORROW.

Please pass the word

We hope all our staff and whanau are safe and hunkered down with these high winds.
Because the winds are expected to continue till 3am there will be no chance to check properties and let you know in advance, the particular situation, at your specific kindergarten.
BECAUSE OF THIS WE ARE CLOSING ALL OUR KINDERGARTENS TOMORROW.
Head Teachers are reaching out to families as I write this. In the morning (if roads allow) we will assess the fencings trees and buildings for damage etc. We will have the Head Teachers let you know the outcome and what will be happening for Tuesday sometime tomorrow.
We know its never easy to not have kindergarten available but for safety sake this is what we are doing.
Stay safe whanau

As another big storm heads toward Aotearoa. We ask all our whanau to stay safe and hunker down. Evacuate if you feel unsafe. The association management team will be monitoring the situation and making determinations based on civil defense advice and local conditions to determine if our kindergartens will be open on Monday. We will let you know via each kindergarten reaching out to you to let you know whats happening when we know.
