Kia ora Parents and Caregivers,
The following message was included in Fridays Weekly update, however, we are resending it in case it was missed.
The New Zealand Educational Institute (NZEI) has formally notified schools including Emmanuel of industrial (strike) action on Thursday 23 October.
The school board has discussed this scenario, with a significant number of our staff impacted. Emmanuel Christian School will need to close for instruction on Thursday 23rd October, as we will not have sufficient teaching staff available to safely operate classes.
We are aware that this may cause challenges for some families. While the school will be closed for instruction, if you require supervision for your child on that day, we will have several staff available to provide this. Please use the form below to let us know supervision is needed:

We understand that situations like this can be disruptive, and we want to assure you that we will keep you informed of any information as soon as it is available.
As always, we continue to approach these times with patience and grace. We are thankful for the unity and support within our school community and trust that God’s wisdom will guide all involved in the process ahead.
