Ekea tō tāpuhipuhi

Kia ora e te whānau,

Waiouru School will be closed today.

Due to the ongoing severe weather and travel conditions this morning, a number of our staff are unable to travel safely. Without sufficient teachers onsite, we cannot open and operate safely.

Please keep your tamariki at home today. Absences will be marked as weather related.

We will continue to monitor conditions and provide an update later today regarding tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding. Please stay safe and avoid unnecessary travel.

Kia ora e te whānau,

We are closely monitoring the regional State of Emergency across Manawatū Whanganui. 

We are currently confirming staff availability and checking road and travel conditions. At this stage, Waiouru School has not made a final decision about opening.

A further update will be sent at 7.00am once this information is clear.

Please prioritise safety. If travel conditions in your area are unsafe, do not attempt to drive. Absences related to weather will be justified.

Thank you for your patience as we assess conditions carefully and make a decision that keeps our tamariki and teachers safe.

Ngā mihi,

Whaea Tarn
